Arrow 3 mo olds left/moms went to slaughter NEED HOMES

Same place again...Nevada kill lot..going to Fort McCleod slaughter house

2 three month olds moms went on slaughter trucks yesterday.
The truck was to full to put them on, kill buyer did not want them to get trampled. They(babies) will go up in a truck next Thursday to go to Fort McCleod to be fattened up and then slaughtered.
The same contact I have who has an "in" with this kill buyer will let her sell them out if she can before then. He will let them go for $250.

ALSO
She was able to pull aside a mare and her 3 week old. They will also go up next Thursday if we cannot find someone to buy them.
He will let mom and baby go for $600

I am going to post some pictures of horses that have come off of this kill lot. These pictures are from private people who have rescued them.
As you will see they are nice looking horses, and none so far have had any health problems. Thin, but manageable.

Here is a mom and baby taken from the kill lot in Nevada.



Here are some more, she came off of the lot pregnant, and delivered shortly after getting to her home.





As you can see, not bad horses(but to me they are all great).
There are pictures of more, but I just posted these.

Thanks Bre!
That means alot

It is a very mental hardship trying to get these horses out of there.
So far, have been very fortunate to come across some real kind horse people with big hearts willing to take some when preg mares and mares with foals come in. I can't even fathom the mindset to bring a pregmare or mare with foal directly to the kill buyer for slaughter
Sadly, like what happened on Wed, 2 moms left their 3 month olds behind, just so they can be on a dinner plate.

If you had a way to get them to Missouri, I would take on a couple until we could find them new families.
