Adopting a PMU Horse

Premarin, the most popular hormone drug for treating menopausal symptoms, is made from the urine of pregnant horses. Even worse, the horses used in or born as a result of this industry are often at risk of being sold for slaughter. But thousands of people are giving these horses a second chance at life by adopting one through PMURescue.org. Meet just one of them...

Looks like I can't post a link. Go to our Web site, redrover.org, and search for "adopt a PMU horse." This will bring up the list.

Thanks for posting, I have an eight year old PMU baby that is smart and a great trail horse. Although he has conformational faults such as ewe neck and he has poor feet, he has been a good horse that I started from halter. There are tens of thousands of these horses that can be 'rescued' and made into great horses. Mine has gone over 2'6" and endless trails, and lovingly protects his miniature 'brother.'

Female humans who ingest premarin need to just learn to be aging females and just humanely deal with menopause...

Mares should not ever have to suffer like this for the sake of your convenience.

I think there are still PMU farms in the US as well..

MY first horse, an Arabian had cancer, but he went to a very good home, basically to live out his remaining years in pasture and as a pet. I had heard about these Premarin horses, and I never knew that the conditions that these horses are kept in are horrific. It is a lot worse than i ever thought! Today, my friend asked me if I would consider adopting a PMU horse, and before I even saw this video, my answer was YES, Absolutely!!!How do I get one of these PMU horses to CO??

My mother and I rescued a PMU colt from a farm that was closed down for good in Canada. The Pegasus Foundation helped us get our wonderful boy. he was 1 1/2 years old when we got him, and had never had human contact. Despite that he ajusted to life as a pampered horse with flying colors. He was one of the best horses I have ever owned, and I was sad to see him go, but we couldn't keep him anymore. He went to a wonderful family who still gives him all the love he needs and more.
