About

The Pregnant Mare Rescue in Santa Cruz County, California has been pulling pregnant mares and orphaned foals out of harm’s way for over eight years. Our goal is to save as many pregnant mares and foals from abuse, neglect and a trip to the Slaughterhouse.

We provide a safe natural environment for mares to foal in peace, and to nurture and nurse their young. We gentle the mares and foals, and prepare them for new loving homes.

We live by the Natural Horsemanship Philosophy of harmony, understanding and respecting the spirit of the animal, not intimidation, coercion and pain.

Our "Umbrella Policy of Protection" tracks each horse for life.

We feel it is the ONLY way to keep horses safe for life.

We encourage horse owners to love and keep their equine for life, just as you would your other pets.
