LOCUST VALLEY, N.Y., (August 27, 2013) – Seraphim12 Foundation is once again teaming up with the New York Mets to host the second annual “Hooves on First” Day on Sunday September 15 at Citi Field, when the Mets take on the Miami Marlins at 1:10PM. The fundraiser will celebrate America’s iconic wild horses and raise awareness about their mistreatment in support of the foundation’s vision of people saving horses and horses saving humanity. This subject has recently been in the news nationally relating to the debate over wild horse mismanagement on public lands and the re-establishment of legalized horse slaughter. Cheer on the Mets while helping to raise awareness of the issues facing wild Mustangs.

Fans are encouraged to show up early to the game; at 11:30am The HorseTenders Mustang Foundation is bringing some of their Mustangs to meet and greet the fans. HorseTenders’ mission is to effectively empower both human and horse to unite in sharing mutual benefits of emotive healing, comfort, and security. These horses are used in rehabilitation and self-discovery exercises with women, families, and specialize in working with military members transitioning back to civilian life.

Everyone who purchases their ticket through www.mets.com/horse will receive a free Seraphim12 t-shirt. Come and sit together with other “horse angels” in the Left Field Reserved Seating area! Plus, a special area will be set up in the Bullpen Entrance with mustang themed activities for kids. David Katz, Board Member of the New York Mets and Seraphim12 Foundation, was fundamental in the creation of this awareness night. Seraphim12 Foundation’s Manda Kalimian said, “We are thrilled at the opportunity to connect New Yorkers and Mets fans with the living symbols of the American spirit - the Mustang. The independent spirit of the Mustang, like that of all Americans, is something to celebrate. We, the people, need to work together to keep the Mustang living wild and free, to help us keep our connection to nature.”
