Washington, D.C. – April 27, 2012 – The Seraphim12 Foundation participated in the “Horses on the Hill” event along with celebrities, school children and citizen advocates yesterday, April 25, 2012. Participants joined Sen. Mary Landrieu, D-La., to sponsor the American Horse Slaughter Prevention Act (S. 1176/H.R. 2966), at the Capitol, urging legislators to permanently protect the nation’s horses from inhumane slaughter. The event was co-hosted by the Animal Welfare Institute, the ASPCA (the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals), and The Humane Society of the United States.

The event grew tremendously in size over only a few short days leading up to it, with contributors, including actress Bo Derek, Lorenzo Borghese from ABC’s “The Bachelor,” local school children and young equestrians. The bill the participants were supporting would prohibit the inhumane killing of American horses for human consumption in the United States and stop the transport of horses across the border to Canada and Mexico for slaughter. The passage of this critical legislation would end the current export and slaughter of approximately 100,000 American horses each year. With an estimated 80% of the American population opposing horse slaughter, this bill is critical and has the support necessary to make a change.

Seraphim12 Foundation Redefines the Relationship between Horse and Man

Wellington – March 23, 2011 – The Seraphim12 Foundation is writing a new history for horses around the world as the team fights imposing legislation and raises awareness through actions and education. Seraphim12 represents the essence of the bond that exists between horse and human, a bond that should never be broken. Conceptualized by lifelong equestrians, Manda Kalimian and Pamela Polk head up the Seraphim12 Foundation, reconstructing the bridge that interconnects horses with humans.

In a world where horses are mostly seen for financial value and usefulness, people have forgotten the power and sensitivity horses provide, acting as a mirror to reflect back to us, who we are and who we can be. It was three and a half years ago when Kalimian realized that slaughterhouses were still in existence, an e-mail from a rescue organization changed her world – she knew that she needed to do something.
