Mal looks great. There's no stall available in the farm where Colza is, but I'm sure I'd find a place for him... I could even afford him.
But...
Nothing else - you know, straw, food, "shoes" [don't know the English word], vet...
And he'd have to fly to France.
I thought this Premarin production was over... I read articles about this with horrible pictures years ago and they said there ere lobbying groups working well agains that...

Grimma, Premarin production is winding down -- simply because of decreased demand for the drug, what with the whole "it might cause cancer" thing -- but they are still in business; there are a couple in North Dakota, as I recall, but the majority operate in Canada.
You can find a lot more information about Premarin from a horse advocate's position at http://www.premarin.org

Guildssister, aren't they the cutest things? :D The two that really make me laugh are Cobb and Shepherd, because they really remind me of the characters we named them for... Shepherd is sort of calm and always looks a little bemused with Cobb, but he pals around with him anyway, and Cobb runs around aggravating not just everybody in his own pen, but the ponies in the pen next to his as well. :D I think if I could keep one I'd probably take Serenity, though... she's just so soft and snuggleable! And she's less scared than most of the others; if you offer to let her smell you, she'll come up and see what you're all about, where some of the others will run away.

Hmm, I was just looking at the site again and I'm a little annoined at the PMU babies being refered to as 'waste products.' This is a misconception. Most farms have breeding programs so as to get the most resale value from the babies.
At the farm where I work (remember I was gone all summer with no internet? That where I was), we take in PMU babies all the time . We got a shipment of 8 two year olds at the begning of the summer, and a second shipment of 5 two year olds towards the end of the summer. (Thats just THIS SUMMER, the barn has been doing this for years) These horses are coming along incredibly nicely. Their specific breeding (1/4 draft, 3/4 thoughbred), makes them awsome foxhunters, especily for childen and/or inexpereinced riders. Its an incredible money maker for the owner of the barn as well. She buys them relitivly inexpensivly, trains them, and can often sell them at 3 or 4 times what she paid for them.
True, there are PMU barns that sell to rendering plants, but I'm OK with that. (I'm not an animal killer or hater or anything, trust me. When my first horse died, he went to rendering, and I LOVED that horse dearly.) Where do you think your dog food comes from? It doesn't grow on trees, let me tell you. Circle of life and all that.
Sorry if I sound preachey or anything. I think its awsome what you're doing for these horses. Its just that peeple can see this and automaticly think "Oh! Thats terrible!" without really seeing whats going on, and I'd feel bad about myself if I didn't clear up these misconceptions.

I want Inara. And Tam. Oh, Wash too. Oh the CUTENESS that is those three! (not to say that they aren't all incredibly cute, but I just like the way those three are built. The long legs, love 'em ^_^ Sheperd and Cobb are quite the nicely conformed lookers, as well. Too bad the cuteness that is Cobb was ADOPTED)
I wish I had room and time to adopt one, really. I'm a big horse person, and I could sure find a way to play around with those two. Even if I didn't have a cart, riding draft horses has some kind of odd wonderfulness to it. :) It's great that you do this, and talk bout having fun with Firefly!

I think that Reaver would make a good name for a wild stallion,(Hey, Wyld Stallions! {air guitars frantically for a moment} sorry, Bill and Ted moment) or a gelding with fond memories.
The more I get to know people the more I like my dogs.

ooh! Mal is my favorite, I'm a fan of Paints. I guess since he's half Belgian he might be a big one.
Neat!
They are all so beautiful, it's hard knowing they're the by product of something so horrible.
I hope they all find fabulous families to take care of them.
Thanks for sharing their story!
I'm forwarding it to some people I know.
