Canyon Creek Farm and Horse Rescue Efforts

Here is a photo of a mare and her foal rescued from a Premarin Facility. Premarin stands for Pregnant Mare Urine which is used to help women deal with the symptoms of menopause. Mares who participate in this industry and their foals stand a great, great risk of ultimately being slaughtered. Canada slaughters many horses each year for want of finding a home or for being of no more use in a Premarin factory. And in the United States, over 1,000 horses are slaughtered each day.

So, the people of Canyon Creek Farm decided to create a limited liability corporation to rescue what mares they could from standing feedlots and from premarin farms to train and prepare for adoption. The link below describes their important, blessed work.
