Successful Adoption

May 28, 2008 2 Comments by

Just wanted to say “thank you” for posting our “nurse mare” situation. We did find a replacement foal from Biggar, Saskatchewan. Thank You Erin for bringing us “Diago”! It appears after their first day together to 2 have learned how much they need each other and the mare is allowing him to nurse independantly without supervision. “Diago” is an opportunist and has developed many “unique” SAFE nursing positions. (I will try to follow-up with photos).

Anyway, thanks for posting our ad. The responses we recieved proves how much exposure Northern Horse really has. I had never expected such a response. Thanks to everyone who helped with our search efforts!

Sincerely,

We are looking for a replacement foal for a mare who just lost her foal 11:00 a.m. May 29. We are close to the Alberta/Sask border ( 1hour east of lloydminister) 20 mins. North of Hwy. 16. This mare has a huge udder and very maternal. We can consider pick up of foal. Please contact us as soon as possible if you have a foal needing a good mom!

    Please follow that link; someone has two orphaned foals. They are giving them away [for free] to anyone who can afford to care for them.

    Perhaps this would be good for your nursemare. Good luck!

    Hi there
    Just wanted to let you know that there is a lady advertising in the free pets section on kijiji.ca ( Calgary) for 2 orphaned foals for free. She is bottle feeding them now but thought you may be interested :)
