Ever wonder what happened to all those mares used to create Premarin?
This is one of the places they ended up. I would adopt a couple of these foals tomorrow except that just keeping them for their gorgeous coats would be silly -- and I'm not sure my hands could stand up to riding anymore.
But here is the story -- and if you know of someone who has been looking for an appaloosa with great patterns, or a sassy quarterhorse -- or would like some Fjord or draft cross into a riding horse -- please pass this along in its entirety. I want to hear that the people who want new riding horses can find them here!
Fwd: 100 PMU FOALS OUT OF TIME, DEADLINE NOVEMBER 30, 2006
Anyone who can help these poor babies, please take a look at the site.

This week we received phone calls from three of the PMU ranchers that we are
working with, telling us that they cannot wait much longer to get their foals
placed. Winter has come early in Alberta this year, and there is not enough
grass to leave the mares and foals on pasture.
They have decided to wean their foals at the end of this month. Shortly after
that the foals that have not been adopted, from these three ranches, will go
to an auction. Some will go to a local horse sale, others may be taken to a
more specific breed auction (such as the Quarterhorses).
The Animali Farm will do all that it can to place the foals through the end
of this month. If you are able to adopt, please email or call us. Please keep
in mind that there is only one full time person in the office, if we don´t get
right back with you try again.
There are over 100 foals needing homes by the end of the month. Below is a
brief list of the foals with a deadline. A few mares are in the same situation.
APPALOOSAS: There are about 50 appaloosa foals still needing homes. Quite a
few of them are colored appaloosas, and they can be registered. This ranch is
going out of the horse breeding business this year. They are also selling their
mares and stallions, but they can give them a little bit more time. The foals
have to go at the end of the month.
QUARTERHORSES: There are still 25 registered Quarterhorse foals needing
homes. Their pedigrees include such sires as Doc Bar, Old Sorrel, Bueno Chex, Poco
Bueno, King and Leo. In addition to that there are some really nice colors
(Buckskin, Roan, Palomino).
DRAFT CROSSES: There are still 7 of Kings babies needing homes, all but one
of them are pinto! These babies are ¾ Draft ¼ Paint and will mature 16+ hands.
King is the sire of some of our most popular horses over the past few years.
This may be the last year that you can get one of his foals. There are also
three Blue Roan Quarterhorse/Light Draft crosses still needing homes. These foals
should mature 15.2-16 hands and be wonderful riding horses. There is even one
Canadian/Lt. Draft cross foal (Jewell´s baby) still needing a home.
FJORD CROSSES: There are 6 fjord crosses left. These are some of our favorite
horses, in fact we hope to start driving Cheryl's Fjord (Tennessee Ernie
Fjord) as soon as this rush is over. These cute horses mature to about 14.2 hands,
and are stout. They have the sweetest, calmest personalities and are often
used in therapeutic riding programs. They are born wearing a fawn coat, and shed
out to look just like their mothers.
There are also two draft cross mares that need homes right away. They are not
in foal, and the rancher will not be keeping them over the winter. One is
Nutmeg, a red roan Belgian cross. We have tried to find her a home for two years,
and are worried that she may not get one. The other is Jip a grulla
Fjord/Percheron cross. Jip is about 14.2 hands and lovely.
To see all of the horses that need homes immediately go to our website,
http://www.theanimalifarm.com/ and click on the button at the top which says, "
Horses with November 30, 2006 Deadline". This will take you to a section of our
site where you can look at just those horses. If you are a frequent visitor to
our site remember to refresh your browser to get the latest version of the
site. We are posting new information daily.
Please feel free to forward this email to your horse friends. The only way
these babies will get adopted is if enough people know about them.
If you are able to adopt, please call us at 805-938-0174. Please remember we
are in California, and call during business hours. Please leave a message if
we do not answer. The machine picks up if we are on the phone with another
adopter. We will call you back.
Your donations are also appreciated. We use donations to reduce the fees on
horses that are running out of time. At a time like this you can really make a
difference, even if you cannot adopt a horse. No amount is too small, this
email is going to thousands of people and if everyone just gave a little we could
make a huge difference.
Thank you very much.

THE ANIMALI FARM IS A 501(c)3, nonprofit organization. We focus on placing
horses no longer needed by the PMU (Pregnant Mare Urine) industry. The industry
has dramatically reduced production since women have reduced their use of
Premarin. The Animali Farm has found homes for nearly 1000 "Premarin" horses in
the past 4 years. We have done this by helping a handful of PMU ranchers in one
small town in Alberta find homes for their horses after they lost their PMU
contracts. We are not a large organization, just two women and a small group of
volunteers. It has been a long haul, and there is more to do.
We count on your support to keep us going!

I did have someone ask for more about the info. Why do we always think the person who forwarded knows anything more? I did go to the web site. They look legit -- I'd probably look up a couple of vets on-line and ask if the vets think they are legit.

Yes -- I figure there's a lot I could do for the world with a million dollars in the bank, even if it's only not needing to apply for disability.
Just have to keep passing the information around until it reaches people who are willing to try. (Someone actually contacted me off-list to see if I knew anything more. I directed them to a web site and suggested they call vets in the area to be sure they're legit.) There are a couple of foals with outstanding coats. I didn't look hard enough to see if they had the conformation to go with the patterns, but oh, really special appaloosa coats!
