Since 2010, Mary Santagata and her supporters have helped rescue and re-home 62 horses, and counting, through her North Branford-based non-profit, All the Kings Horses Equine Rescue (ATKHER). In 2015 alone, the program found adoptive or foster homes for 15 animals in need.
It all started in a rented barn on Forest Road, after Mary was spurred on by the experience of adopting her beloved first horse, June, in 2008.
