Free Foals to good home

For this purpose it is usual to knock up broodmares shortly after they are born; then breastfeeding broodmares are used to feed the much appreciated young, she said. Foals would be unusable for three to four years, and their care for this length of service would be costly and time-consuming.

"Unfortunately, there are hurricanes like sand at the seaside - and that's not good for their safety," Cooper said. Of the foals, five are quarters, one is a breed colour. Twice a day, they gave injections of antibacterial drugs and controlled the temperature of the foals and their respiration, which they controlled with a Stethoskop.

Three of the four stallions reacted very well and are not fully recovering. Hewardine said two of the stallions, the smallest of which is currently in the second round of treatments and is likely to recover fully. "You should all be in good health; there are no other concerns," said Hewardine.

Of the foals, four are about 3 month old. If they want to move, they will be put out on a meadow separated from the other reserve ponies to appreciate nature. Feed the six foals is costly, and Cooper said the salvation is looking for donors for each filly to cover the costs.

The six foals go through a 50 pound pouch of formulas every four nights and eat a 50 pound pouch of food at a price of about $135, Cooper dai. The right surroundings and the right practice will make these great horse for someone. "You calm down very quickly because you've never had abuses or a bad human experience," Hewardine said.

She said that she had already heared from the same salesman that he had three more foals to get rid of and she wanted to hang them from Kentucky, but for that she would need a listing of adopted candidates who were approved in advance and willing to take them in. "So the only costs to the adopted would be our real beds - whatever we paid the vendor for the horses, plus the costs of petrol to hang them up here," Hewardine said.

Sixty of the Rettungspferde have adoption outstanding and are awaiting definitive authorisation only, on the basis of recommendations from vets of the applicant. It is a bustling place, with regular visitors from volonteers who come to take good care of the pets, instructors who ride the horse under the seat and a vet who makes sure it is well.

Hewardine voluntarily enlisted for their lands and homes when they determined they needed a place nearer home to accommodate saved animals. Once an pet has been placed, there will be one to two follow-ups per year in the first two years, more if there are reservations, Hewardine said. Costs of introduction depend on the costs of rescuing the pet, with a typically low fee in the order of $400 to $500.
