Percheron - Extra Large - Adult - Female - Horse - Inca
Description
Hi, my name is Inca. I am 8 years old and 16+hands tall. I used to live on a PMU ranch in Canada. I didnt like it there, and I was glad that Hope for Horses brought me to Texas. A trainer tried to teach me to be a riding horse, but I made it clear to him that I had a different career choice. I would be best as a companion horse or a brood mare. I will be a beautiful addition to your pasture. My adoption fee is $1100. For information on how to adopt me visit our website: www.hopeforhorses.com or send an email to info@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. This is one of the many PMU horses from Canada that has been shipped to Texas for adoption.
