Flora was rescued our of Canada as a PMU Offspring. Her options were few and the worst case scenario always loomed simply because of a human process she was born into. Through human kindness that cycle was able to be interrupted and Flora has a life-long home here in the great state of Texas at Noah's Park Animal Rescue.
Flora is a big girl but has a heart just as big to match! She gets on well these days and hangs out with her bestie Fauna. Some days it is hard to tell these two a part they can be so glued at the horse hip.
Flora will require handling and training as time goes on to be optimally comfortable with her life long husbandry management.
She has aspirations to get a spot in one of our therapy programs and use her excellent energy reading skills to help out her fellows friends who are on the spectrum in our local community!
PMU mares are kept in small standing stalls in order to limit their movement, so not to displace the urinary bladder bags used to collect every drop of urine. The mares are kept in this manner for a lengthy portion of their pregnancy, normally about six months. Once the mares are full term and ready to deliver, they are turned out to have their foals. The mares are able to nurse their foals until weaning age, about 4 months, at which time they are separated and the mare is bred back to repeat the whole process again. This cycle of breeding has created an overabundance of unwanted foals, most of which are sold to the slaughter industry.
Did you know:
-
Hanging a wind chime near the water trough or run-in shed is a way to give the horse some extra guidance.
-
A radio playing in a nearby barn will also help the horse stay oriented.
-
Avoid turning the blind horse out in a large group of horses, but don't isolate him, either.
-
Watch your horse as you lead him up and down over a curb, across an object like a thin whip or garden hose, and from a lighted/sunny area into a dark or deeply shaded place. Reluctance to go forward may indicate vision problems.
