PMU Draft Mares in Trouble! Please
Help! |
|
Premarin (including Prempro, Premphase, Prempac, and Premelle) is a drug
made up of conjugated estrogens obtained from the urine of pregnant mares --
put out in many forms (pills, creams, injections, patches, vaginal rings)
and is used to reduce the symptoms of menopause in women or women who have
had a hysterectomy. It is also prescribed to nearly eliminate the risk of
osteoporosis (the brittling of bones) and reduce the chance of heart disease
in women over 50. |

Good News / Bad News. The good news is that
the drug company that makes Premarin has shut down some of their Pregnant
Mare Urine (PMU) farms. There are still many farms in business, but due
to modern research that finds Premarin not healthy for women to take, the
demand for it is going down. This is good news. That means that less PMU
foals will be born and thus less going to slaughter. There is still a lot of
work to do and more farms producing too many foals.
Meanwhile, the farms that just closed down have many pregnant mares to get
rid of. We are wanting to help grade (unregistered) mares as they are
the most at risk.
If you are interested in adopting one of these mares, Please contact
one of more of the organizations listed below for up to date
information. We will try to list as many as possible here on DHC but
keep in mind that this is a nationwide problem and there are many many more
than we're able to list that need help. |

I would like to take this opportunity to Introduce Restoration Valley
Horse Rescue. We are privately funded and have several openings for
rescue horses. Those that are trainable and able will be trained and used as
lead horses to expose children that do not have the opportunity to
experience a horse ride or even petting a horse. We are working with several
programs where these great animals can be used to assist problem and
emotionally disturbed teens in a supervised setting where they can care for
the horses and establish a sense of being needed. This type of therapy is
wonderful for the horses and the children as well. If the horses are sound
enough to be ridden then we can use these as well to introduce economically
disadvantaged youth to pleasure and trail riding. If anyone has a
horse to donate or knows or someone please have them contact me at:
