Pawling, NY October 12, 2013 

PAWLING, New York –With so many special events going

on in 2013, Akindale Thoroughbred Rescue hopes to welcome a record number of

people to its annual Family Fun Day. This year’s event boasts a new “Hoe Down”


theme and will take place on Saturday, October 12th from 12 - 4pm,


at Cloverbrook Farm located at 400 Quaker Hill Road, Pawling, NY.  

For all of us at Akindale Thoroughbred Rescue,

Family Fun Day is very important as it brings awareness to the community that

our town is home to one of the largest Thoroughbred Rescues in NY. It also

helps to raise much needed funds necessary to care for the 140 rescued horses

that call Akindale home. “We are excited to welcome the community to our new Hoedown themed family event this year” stated Erin Pfister, Akindale’s Manager,

“this year we  have added a BBQ lunch for

parents and their children as well as country music and a line dance instructor!”

A $40 donation per family will include a BBQ lunch, hay

& pony rides, country music with a line dance instructor and everyone’s

favorite Birds of Prey Show! As always, we will have lots of fun activities for

the kids as well as raffles and silent auctions for the adults.  

More details are available on our website at:

AkindaleHorseRescue.org. We ask that families pre-purchase tickets thru our

website or by calling 845-855-1262. There will be tickets available at the entrance on Saturday as well.
