Rhona Mitra Instagram – Last night at midnight, Lucky 6 were placed in their pen awaiting their future.
They dont know it yet but every day from here-on-in they will roam pastures, climb mountains and sip from fresh water streams together and live a life free of pain and subjugation as all horses should…
With our collective efforts yesterday we managed to pull –
2 Mares
3 foals (2 male/1 female)
1 adolescent male
Two will require castration, 5 will need fattening with alfalfa, they all require vaccines,antiparasite meds and hoof care, and two are completely raw so will need basic ‘taming’ as will be tough to handle (but its the young wild ones that rarely stand a chance and we didnt want to see the slaughterhouse take anymore.)
We managed to push the price up on several others, too high for the meat market thankfully, but for now from what we raised and what we need for their care ahead this is what we could justify.
So, to EVERYONE who contributed, I hope you feel warmth in your hearts for being part of their journey.
We/they can not thank you enough.
We’re on 3 hours sleep and off to collect them with the truck as we speak…
So if you want to follow their journey please do so on @thelastarkorphanage
