We are a rescue group that takes in orphan and nurse mare foals. Nurse mare
foals are a product of the racing and breeding industry. The foals mothers are
taken away from them when a more expensive foal needs a mother. It is either
due to the foal's mother rejecting it or the expensive mare has to go to the stud
farm and the baby cannot go. The nurse mare is brought in to raise the
expensive baby. The nurse mare foal is then either sold or left to fend for itself.
Sometimes they end up at the slaughter house. We are trying to save these
wonderful babies. They can turn into great horses. They are beautiful and
healthy.
Our foals came from a farm in New York. They were taken care of while there.
They stayed with their mother's for at least a week. So they are very healthy.
They are either Appaloosa, connamara, and thoroughbred. We have solids and
colors. We have fillies and colts. We will let them go to their new homes once
they are around 5 months old. New owners can come out and visit and play
with their babies at our place until then.
This is Sandy -

are rescuing foals. She
adopted an orphan foal
without any hesitation.
