Connecticut Draft Horse Rescue’s (CDHR) biggest fundraising event, Denim, Diamonds, & Drafts dinner and dance, is on March 24 at 6pm at Portland’s Saint Clements Castle. Dust off those dancing boots and join for an evening of great music, delicious food, plenty of dancing, raffles, and live and silent auctions.

Tickets are $70 per person. Tickets sold out last year so early registration is encouraged. The event proceeds will go toward supporting the horses of CDHR.

In February 2011, CDHR incorporated as a nonprofit organization and became a registered charity in Connecticut. In October 2011, CDHR expanded to its 68-acre farm in Haddam Neck. To date, they have rescued more than 70 horses and adopted most of those to loving new homes. They vet, quarantine, rehabilitate, train and re-home rescued horses with a strict contract for their life-long protection.
