Draft - Extra Large - Adult - Female - Horse - #527 Honey
Description
Hi, my name is Honey. I am a 12 year old sorrel draft cross mare, about 16 hands tall. I came from a PMU ranch in Canada, and I didnt like it there very much. Hope for Horses brought me to Texas, and Im glad! I can be caught in an enclosed area and then haltered and led. I dont like to stand for the farrier, but I like being groomed and eating treats. With lots of daily love and attention, I will quickly learn to trust you. Wont you be the special someone who will teach me everything I want to learn? My adoption fee is $1100. For more information on this horse or any other horse we have for adoption, please visit our website ww.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. 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. Honey is one of the many PMU horses from Canada that has been shipped to Texas for adoption.
