Frank Weller, Founder of E.A.R.S.

We already know that horses can paint (and you can see for yourself at foalrescue.com). My goal is to show another talent that rescued horses have: acting. With the support of the Appaloosa Horse Club, among others, I hope to coproduce two films, in the style of Fistful of Dollars, which is my favorite Western film.
Many people would be surprised to know that horses have gratitude. They often come up to their caregivers and express it in physical ways like licking or rubbing, but there is a deeper level that we sense through a soulful connection. It is hard for me to put into words, but profound when experienced.
Frank Weller, founder of E.A.R.S.
As founder of E.A.R.S., the Equine Angels Rescue Sanctuary, based in New Milford, Connecticut, Frank Weller has led his volunteers in rescuing more than 250 Premarin horses from Canada since the charity formed in 2003. These foals are usually slaughtered, as they are seen as by-products of mares bred to create human hormone replacement therapy medications by Wyeth Pharmaceuticals for nearly 70 years. True West honored Frank for his work as a horse advocate in this year’s Best of the West Source Book.
