HORSE NEAR CASHTON NEEDS IMMEDIATE HELP


Hi everyone,


We have a Standardbred mare who is IN FOAL who needs immediate fostering or adoption.

She is at a farm near Cashton WI - she has been in with a gelding, but also a neighboring stallion broke down the fence last May and bred this ASAP mare - she may be due to foal in May.


Her condition is not good - the adopter reports that despite the feed she has been receiving she has lost a considerable amount of weight. She is extremely thin and with the cold temperatures and her condition we are worried for her well-being. Can anyone step up to the plate to help Breta? We can take her here at ASAP, but would prefer someone to help that does not have 23 other horses already at the farm to monitor and care for. Please call me at 608-689-2296 or 608-792-5126 for contact information for this mare! We need to help her!

As a point of comparison, the photo above is of Bullwinkle and Shay N Telle, both of whom were relinquished to ASAP by the adopter when feed became scarce. This is NOT the case for Breta, who is being cared for and the adopter is a responsible individual who has had Breta for several years. However, her condition is not optimal at this point in time.
