YOUR SUPPORT HELPS US SAVE HORSES
MOHM were able to reunite an old mare and her 2 of her daughters. They instantly remembered each other and they probably didn’t see each other for 10 years.
Research supports horses and foals remembering each other after months of separation… you can learn more about that here.
Studs wean foals much earlier than in a wild horse group. In some cases, it is abrupt and can cause problems with the foal further down the track. Imagine having your baby ripped away from you every year.
Studs wean foals and that breaks the mother-child bond. Milk is not just about nutrition, it is also a comfort to suckle the mother. This is removed.
#MOHM THREATENED?
We’ve been threatened by those in the horse racing industry and those who benefit from horse slaughter more times than we can count.
But we are not going away.
We are going to persist until horse slaughter no longer exists for any purpose within Australia -- and until the horse racing industry makes drastic changes.
We are going to continue our hands-on work to offer lifelong sanctuary to as many horses as possible. We generally have 20 at just one of our locations - at any given time.
We have the acreage to take on more horses as financial support allows.
