Draft - Extra Large - Adult - Female - Horse - #215 Crystal
Description
Hi, my name is Crystal. I am a 15 year old draft cross mare. I came from a PMU ranch in Canada. I didnt like it there, and I'm very glad that Hope for Horses brought me to Texas. I am halter broke and can be led. Im a little shy of people, but I will very quickly come around and trust you if you give me daily love and attention. I have fantastic mothering skills; so if you have any babies in your pasture, I will be great with them. The conformation in my hind pasterns is not good, which means I would do best as a companion horse. If you train me to ride, I can only be used for light riding. My adoption fee is $700. For more information on this horse or any other horse we have for adoption, please visit our website www.hopeforhorses.com PMU and Premarin stand for PREgnant MARes URINe. Premarin, once the top selling drug, is a hormone replacement therapy drug given to menopausal and osteoporosis patients. Due to modern research that finds Premarin causes cancer in humans, the demand for it is going down. About 80 percent of the PMU farms have closed. At one point there was about 45,000 mares used in this program. That means the farms that just closed down have thousands of horses they desperately want to get rid of. Many will end up in the slaughter house if we dont save them. We also have the foals from the remaining farms that we need to find homes for also. The cost to rescue them includes feeding them in Canada until shipment, purchase price, vaccinations (VEWT, Rabies, Flu/Rhino, and West Nile), deworming, border fees, transport (from Canada), and care until adopted. Crystal is one of the many PMU horses from Canada that has been shipped to Texas for adoption.
