Quick ViewDetailsAnnie
Sponsorship OptionsAnnie, a Belgian Draft, born around 2001, was the youngest of 46 Canadian PMU mares Equine Advocates rescued between October 2003 and March 2004. For that reason she does not seem to have as many physical and emotional scars as most of the other mares rescued during that six-month period. She was adopted when she arrived and gave birth to a colt named Connor. Both horses came back to us in 2008. Annie spends her days with other PMU mares and PMU offspring in "The Big and the Beautiful" field! Photo credit: Jim Craner

Quick ViewDetailsArnold
Sponsorship OptionsArnold who once raced under the name, “Cluster Bomb,” was rescued by Equine Advocates on January 16, 2007 from a New York breeding farm, along with two other emaciated Thoroughbreds, Mikey and D.A., who also reside in the area of the sanctuary we call "After the Finish Line." A handsome chestnut gelding, Arnold was born on April 7, 2001. He spent more than a month being treated for emaciation and severe skin disease at an equine hospital immediately following his rescue. Dr. Bill Barnes who treated all three Thoroughbreds told New York Times reporter, Joe Drape, “They had no groceries. They were starving to death.” That was then. Look at Arnold, Mikey and D.A. now!

Quick ViewDetailsAustin
Sponsorship OptionsAustin is a registered Standardbred gelding born on May 14, 2005. As a trotter, he raced under the name of "One Awesome Master" with earnings of more than $270,000. After sustaining several injuries and undergoing multiple surgeries during his lifetime, Austin became a candidate for permanent retirement at a sanctuary in 2015. We were happy to provide him with a forever home where he will live out his days in the company of other horses, many of whom are also former performance and work horses. Austin lives in a section of the sanctuary we refer to as "Kindred Spirits" along with his pal Nicky! Photo credit: Kara Heniges

Quick ViewDetailsBeau
Sponsorship OptionsBeau is an unregistered Thoroughbred born in 2003. He, his sire, Clive, and another Thoroughbred, Marty, came to Equine Advocates in 2008 after a ruling in a judicial proceeding where the former owner was charged with animal cruelty for neglect. As a result of his inhumane treatment and confinement by his former owner, Beau has a neurotic behavior called "cribbing." Beau wears a cribbing collar as he was getting severe gas colics weekly that are very dangerous. With the collar, he has not had any further episodes. Even though Beau has some emotional issues and doesn't get along with a lot of other equines, he is very content at the sanctuary with his new best lady friend, Lorna, in the pasture we call "Lovers Lane."

Quick ViewDetailsBebe
Sponsorship OptionsBebe, a gorgeous black mare, is the offspring of Scarlet, a PMU mare who was pregnant at the time Equine Advocates rescued her at a slaughter auction in Canada in 2000. (Sadly, Scarlet passed away on October 10, 2014.) Bebe was born in the U.S. on May 11, 2001 and adopted soon afterwards, but came back to us later that year. Bebe has since adapted very well to her life at the sanctuary and lives in the company of other former PMU mares and PMU offspring in a huge pasture we call "The Big and the Beautiful."

Quick ViewDetailsBelle
Sponsorship OptionsBelle, born around 1994, is a former Amish Work Mule from western Pennsylvania. She and her sister, Babe had been involved in a plowing accident where Belle sustained a broken jaw. The farmer who owned them was going to send them to auction when we heard about their story and purchased them privately from him. Belle is one of the sweetest equines at the sanctuary. In 2016, her left eye had to be removed due to Glaucoma, a condition she also has in her right eye. We manage her condition by administering medication to her right eye every day. She will be on this medication for the rest of her life. Belle and Babe will never be separated. They spend their days with two other mules, Henry and Marilyn, in a part of the sanctuary called, “Comedy Central.” Photo credit: Holly Scism

Quick ViewDetailsBridgette
Sponsorship OptionsBridgette, a Pinto Pony mare born around 2000, was rescued by Equine Advocates when an upstate New York animal park closed in 2006. The park auctioned off over 1,000 animals, of which approximately 800 went to animal dealers and hunting interests. There were 28 equines for sale and we were fortunate to be able to purchase seven of them, including this adorable little mare pony. Bridgette spends her days on "Pony Hill" with other miniature horses, ponies and donkeys.
