Please read, share and repost when you can: a very important message - thank you! ******

BECOME A HORSE CHAMPION AT LUNCH
Do you like horses? I hope you do; most people do.
Have you heard of Saddlebred horses? Or about Standardbred horses?
The first Standardbred horse was brought to US from England in 1788. In contrast, the Saddlebred is referred to as the “Horse America Made”. They descend from horses bred at the time of the American Revolution: they are the oldest breed of horse established in America. A true American horse!

They live 30-35 years …unless something tragic happens to them.
Some horses are stolen to resell, but many are killed to sell the meat overseas (about 90%) or sold to zoos to feed the carnivores.
About 685,000 American horses were trucked to slaughter facilities in Mexico and Canada in the five years of 2012 to 2016. That’s 137k per year. In 2022, that number dipped to under 20,000 for the first time.
Stealing Broomtails, our movie, is a great story based on real situations.

It has horses, races, fun, chases, and adventure.
You will also like the characters: young, happy, also dysfunctional families, different cultures, beliefs, and growing up -- as individuals and as families.

We want this movie to be both entertaining for the whole family, and educational, so everyone worldwide learns about what is happening to the horses.

Movies are very costly to produce and require a lot of business knowledge and coordination to produce. We have highly experienced and knowledgeable producers, director and executive producer. Our director alone has over 30 years of experience in Hollywood.

We have guaranteed worldwide distribution for all platforms and all foreign languages, are in discussions with interested investors, strong support from industry leaders, and agreements for at-cost post-production. We estimate we can produce this movie for about $3.5 M.

What we need is help with some pre-production costs.

This is our proposal: please help produce a movie that will entertain you and your family and speak on behalf of the innocent horses.

If each person that reads this message donates at least $10 (which is less than lunch costs) you will be the proud contributor to a worthy cause: you will be helping the horses. Donate what you can. If you can do more, thank you.
Skip lunch, or dinner: help a horse today.

$10.
Become a horse champion.
Go to our website www.StealingBroomtails.com to donate and learn more about us, or go directly to the crowfundr account https://fnd.us/b2KDT4?ref=sh_5D6mA9

Please do it now.
Horse champion: thank you.

Hello! We want to tell you about an important movie we want to start producing soon: Stealing Broomtails. WHO ARE WE We are Broomtails LLC, a creative company based in New York that focuses on entertaining, insightful, quality-driven, and innovative,...
