Mama was the horse that introduced us to the awful world of Horse Slaughter and Kill Pens. 

Mama was sent to slaughter with baby Willow by her side. We were told she was also pregnant at the time. My goal was to save all 3 heartbeats.

We never know the full story as to how a horse ends up in the slaughter pipeline. We can never know how scared she must have been with her baby by her side. 

​Mama arrived with baby Willow in April 2021. Willow quickly learned that humans have treats and love - Mama has never recovered from her mistrust of humans- but we work with her every day trying to build trust. 

​Willow enjoys playing with her "rescue brother" Drifter.
