What is going on at PMR?
If you understand the horrific treatment horses suffer when sent to slaughter, then you can appreciate how difficult a task it is to save these lives. In almost 14 years there are over 360 horses that have enjoyed or are still enjoying life as a result of our efforts. Our rescued horses are with their families, safe, well fed, have shelter and access to fresh water.

We are preparing to publish the first in a series of ten books adressing tough issues children sometimes face. The inspiration to write these stories comes directly from our rescues. In over 13 years working primarily as a horse rescue, specializing in pregnant mares and orphaned foals, we have also saved the lives of dogs, cats, squirrels, guinea pigs, donkeys and rabbits.
All of these animals have experienced either grief, death of a loved one, violence, abandonment, abuse, neglect, fear, emotional trauma, family loss and all of them would not be her if we had not saved their lives.
Based on the real experiences of our rescues, the stories send a message of love, forgiveness, and the possibility of hope.
Horses can mirror and respond to human behavior. Being herding animals, they rely on an acute stream of sensory data to sense safety or danger; they can also hear the human heartbeat within four feet, and research on heart-rate variability indicates that horses have a profound ability to synchronize their own heartbeat with that of human beings.
When people are introduced to the herd environment for therapy, horses respond within the same spectrum of physical and emotional responses that govern their own behavior. The Pregnant Mare Rescue brought in a reading specialist, an equine therapy clinician and psychologist to critique, advise and comment as we created our stories.
Our observation is that every animal has the capacity to provide healing messages of hope and we have witnessed their remarkable behavior.
Why write the books?
~Because it shares important information for adults to understand the healing gifts animals can bring to a circumstance.
~Because if you are not able to visit us in person, we bring the miracles to you.
~Because we believe every child, just as every animal deserves to be respected, loved and appreciated.
