Rescuers Fight to Save Pregnant Mare’s Life
Rescued by: Focus Animal Refuge & Rehab in Portage County, OH
In the vast expanse of Ohio, the Focus Rescue & Rehab team encountered a heart-wrenching scene: 50 untouched horses roaming, breeding, and fighting on 125 acres of land. Among them, a sweet pregnant mare and her young babies.
As they assisted in the seizure of these neglected horses, they noticed the mare's leg bore a large, painful wound. Some believed euthanasia was the only option, but the team knew they couldn't give up on her. To provide a new life for her, her babies, and her soon-to-arrive foal, they were brought into the care of Focus Rescue & Rehab.
Capturing this heavily pregnant mare wasn't easy; it took multiple trips with a team of rescuers. But since arriving at their sanctuary, she's been thriving, revealing a surprisingly sweet and curious side. She seeks the team’s attention and loves gentle scratches!
As they eagerly await the arrival of her foal, the Focus Rescue & Rehab team can't help but hope that her kind nature remains unchanged. The days are ticking, and soon, a new life will bless their sanctuary! Stay tuned for more updates.
