Duchess Horse Sanctuary

 The horses are rescued from a pregnant mare operation. Drug Companies kept the mares pregnant & in a stall with no room to move for 6 months out of the year to make hormone therapies for menopausal women-Premarin. They used draft horses because they're big & produce more urine. They were branded with a number. There were over 50,000 at one time. The foals were used in the operation or sold for slaughter. There are about 180 horses at the sanctuary.
