Josephine is a half-blind Standardbred mare who had been a buggy horse. Equine Advocates rescued her in 2001 from a farm in Pennsylvania Dutch Country. She was adopted the same year, but came back to us in 2008 after the woman who adopted her passed away. Josephine spends her days with Gracie & Elinore in an area we call "Three's Company."

The abuse of buggy horses, work horses & mules by some farmers is an issue which EA has dealt with many times over the years. The only way to discourage the over-breeding of these animals is for the federal ban on horse slaughter to finally become law.

Josephine is proudly co-sponsored by supporters from Madison, Connecticut and Argyle, Texas.
