Melanie
From: $50.00 / month
Melanie, a Belgian Draft, was born in the spring of 2004 to PMU (Pregnant Mares’ Urine) mare Peggy, who was in foal at the time of her rescue. She is absolutely gorgeous and has the most beautiful, flowing mane. The sad fact is that she would probably not be alive today had Peggy not been rescued. Female offspring of PMU mares are either fattened and sent to feedlots for slaughter or used to replace used-up mares on the PMU lines, which is nothing more than a long route to the slaughterhouse. Melanie shares her pasture with Peggy, another rescued PMU mare named Annie, and a rescued Philadelphia Carriage Horse named Mark in the area we call “Field of Dreams.”
Melanie is proudly sponsored by supporters from Schodack Landing, New York; Conroe, Texas and Tacoma, Washington.
