In 2006, Equine Advocates rescued seven small equines from the Catskill Game Farm in upstate New York. The game farm had shut its doors and 1000 animals, including 27 equines, were put up for auction. We ended up with three donkeys and four ponies. Except for one, all have physical and/or respiratory problems. Two of the equines we rescued, a Miniature Pony and a Miniature Donkey were in foal. Most of our small equines live in a specially-created area of the sanctuary called Pony Hill.
