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 and are well loved.

We had a bandage change yesterday! Whew! I survived ~ Little foals carry big kicks! Alice Michelle finally settled enough to let us clean her wound up and put on a fresh bandage. Good news is I'm alive to talk about it! NO, the good news is she is off antibiotics!! This is great! Her stomach will now settle ;)

Shannon (Left) and Denna (right) have the difficult job of loving on Alice Michelle ! LOL... Nothing like foal kisses !
ARRIVAL DAY JUNE 2,2019
They are safe! And we can now breathe. Wynonna and her brand new filly (9 days old) Alice Michelle 'Ally' are settling in and the healing has begun. Mom is MAYBE 3 years old (way too young for her body to have carried this foal) and our little filly is not yet 2 weeks old! I am attching pictures of our newest rescues . They are sweet and so deserving of good love and care!

Above , Wynonna is pulled from the lot and put in between 2 panels. That is to secure her to safely draw blood to get a heath certificate. It is required to cross the borders into Calif. Next are images of the horrific injuries this baby sustained shortly after birth. The vet was called out. Ally was sedated, the wound cleaned and antibiotics started. Then both had to be loaded to travel 1800 miles to California. Upon arrival we have settled them in, provided mom who is terribly starved, lots of fresh hay and scheduled the vet. It always amazes me the trust these magnificient equines share.
Both Wy and Ally are resting, happy, healing, and feeling safe. Momma knickers at us when we approach. She knows hay is coming. This mare doesn't know about carrots, apples or sweet grain. She is learning about ll of those things, and love :) Stay tuned for their progress reports!
Thanks for the support!!

In For the Love of Horse, author Lynn Hummer chronicles her experiences rescuing slaughter-bound horses, especially pregnant mares. Over the years, her work with these horses has generated within her a spiritual awareness and a healing she never expected.

She reveals the abhorrent practices of worldwide horse industries and the U.S. Bureau of Land Management.

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.
