Destiny is a 10-year-old Percheron/QH PMU broodmare who came to us in December 2007 from a former PMU ranch in Manitoba. At first very fearful, she is quiet and gentle, although obviously not used to attention. Destiny has had her vaccinations, teeth floated and hooves trimmed at the New Hope facility.
2/08 - Destiny was adopted into a home where she has lots of room to roam, grazing in the summer, and has six other horses for companions. She will be allowed to "just be a horse".

Trinity
Trinity is Destiny's 2007 colt who arrived at the New Hope facility along with Mom in December 2007. He was terrified of people when he first arrived. When he settled down enough to be in his own stall he came around wonderfully and is affectionate and very easy to work with. He is in the process of learning the basics he will need to become successful in the world.

Canook
New Hope assisted in the adoption of this mare, who was from the same Manitoba farm, and traveled along with Destiny and Trinity out of Canada. Canook is now safe at home with her new family, Harlan and Jackie Dalthorp, in Young AZ, who say, "She's a love and we are very happy with her." They are all awaiting her foal in the spring.
UPDATE: Canook has had her baby. Click on her picture for story and more pictures.
We brought these six weanlings home from two auctions -- the Boone County sale in Columbia MO in September and the Troyer auction in Brighton CO in October, 2007. They all had homes waiting for them.

In early October 2006, Noelle was seen pictured with the group of mares and foals pictured below, which were set to be picked up from an ex-pmu farm in Manitoba, Canada by a kill buyer, and a neighboring rancher was trying to save as many of them as possible. Noelle was four months old when she was abruptly removed from her mother and loaded onto a transport trailer.
This beautiful, gentle filly is now safe in Arizona. She is pictured here with Cimarron, a chestnut PMU weanling.

The following are pictures of Noelle and her herdmates--both foals and their mothers. As far as we know, only one other foal in this herd was purchased.

These PMU mares, along with one stallion, were brought down to the U.S. from Manitoba, Canada, in the spring of 2007 in order to save their lives and those of the foals they were carrying. They were part of a herd reduction by a rancher who had had his production contract cut by the pharmaceutical company Wyeth. The alternative for them was being shipped to a feedlot, condemned to slaughter.
