- Where do you get your horses that come into
the rescue program?
We get our horses from many different sources. Some
of our horses are donated to help raise funds for the
rescue, many are horses that were at risk of slaughter,
some come from PMU farms or Nurse Mare Farms.
Some are purchased from abusive situations.
Surrendered horses are given to us by their owners
because they cannot care for the horse any longer.
Some of our horses were in abusive situations and we
have purchased them from their former owner or a
broker to remove them from harm.
Horses that are at livestock auctions are at risk of
going to slaughter for human consumption.
We support Senate Bill S311 the American Horse
Slaughter Prevention Act.
PMU farms are located in Canada and impregnate
mares to collect their urine to make Hormone Therapy
drugs such as Premarin and Prempro. These drugs
have been proven to cause cancer in women and we
consider this industry to be abusive to the horses that
stand in stalls all day for up to 6 months at a time and
harmful to women's health. The resulting foals are a
byproduct of the industry and they are often sold to
slaughter.
Nurse Mare Farms lease mares that have milk, from
having a foal of their own, to other farms to nurse
another mares foal. The original foal is discarded and
in need of rescue. They are orphans that require alot
of support to raise to be normal adult horses.
