My journey is at an end
My eyes close in warmth and
comfort known only to those
that are loved and who love
My journey is at an end
I was born to a life that held
no future; not perfect to my
equine world; destined to bare
an anguish hidden
My journey is at an end
I carry a baby but no one cares
my confinement the gold which
pays huge profits but barely
pays for my keep
My journey is at an end
My child is gone and yet my
urine they still seek
My journey is at an end
My womb is no longer to seed
I'm sent to the feed lot which
foretells my fate
My journey is at an end
The journey of my sisters is on
going with no end in sight
my legacy is my story which
needs to be told and retold
My journey is at an end
There are voices that speak within
my soul of rescue and respite
The voices are of angels on earth
angels of mercy that create havens for
the abused and unwanted of our kind
My journey is at an end
The sun warms my being; the hands
that stroke my head are loving and sure
My passing is peaceful into the loving
hands of the Lord who creates all.
My journey is at an end.

Give a horse a loving home, or sponsor a horse!
Adopt a Horse
Adopt a PMU mare or foal either through our adoption program here at Equine Voices Rescue & Sanctuary™ or let us help you adopt a PMU mare or foal directly from a PMU farmer. For featured mares and foals, please visit PMUrescue.org or check out our photo gallery of adoptable horses of horses we've rescued; either from starvation, abuse or abandonment. The adoption fee goes directly into a savings account to save more horses. By adopting through Equine Voices, you are saving more than one life!!

STEP 1: Find your beloved horse
Please keep checking the photo gallery as we are adding our new horses daily!
STEP 2: Print and mail in the appropriate forms
STEP 3: Follow-up information
That's all there is to it.
7 Reasons to Adopt a PMU mare, foal or horses saved from other situations:
- You are saving a life!
- You will know unconditional love.
- You can drink your coffee while your adopted horse happily eats breakfast! (That's why I did it!!)
- You are making a positive universal statement.
- You will stay in shape....no gym needed!
- "Compassion" will be a common word in your household
- Most of all......you will give back to a special being that has served women and the pharmaceutical giants by giving them a second chance. Won't you consider adopting a PMU mare and/or foal?
Adopting a PMU can be one of the most gratifying experiences and one of the best ways to help give back to the horses, not to mention saving a life. Did you meet our foundation herd? Gulliver, Bella, Deuce and Spanky wouldn’t be here today if it wasn’t for an open mind, a collective effort and the strong desire to save the lives of foals desperately in need.
On first observation of PMU foals is that they are smart, smart, smart!! They usually come untrained, not even having had a halter on. When taken away from their mothers, they are all grouped together in large pens and have minimal to no handling by their human caretakers. They are tagged with a number and fed in groups. The mares have had little training, they are mostly just halter trained, and know how to stand quietly, but that’s about the extent of their training.
Adopting a PMU is a big commitment, these horses are draft crosses and take additional care as they are different from your average horse, most of them growing up to be fairly large in size. If you are interested in adopting a foal, or mother that has lived her life on the “pee-line”, I hope you will work with these horses with an open mind, knowing you will be the first person to spend time building a relationship with them. This is one of the reasons why at Equine Voices Rescue & Sanctuary™ we are developing a series of programs to help potential adopters work with their PMU mares and/or foals in a natural setting and to offer alternative and natural methods of caring for their horse, the “whole” horse.
We are working collectively with other groups to find homes for PMU mares and foals bound for slaughter. Currently there are over 20,000 in need of a good home and in years to come there will be thousands more.
For more information please contact us.
Sponsor a Horse
Sponsoring a horse is a wonderful way to help if you have limited time, space or finances and can’t commit to a lifetime of horse care. With the sponsorship, you will receive a beautifully framed picture of the horse you’ve chosen and their story. This is a rewarding way to be involved with our rescue efforts and to help the horses. It can also be a unique gift for a friend or relative.
STEP 1: Choose one, or two, or multiple horse(s)
STEP 2: Fill out the sposorship form
Monthly support for a horse at Equine voices Rescue & Sanctuary™ is $50 per month, which helps pay for your sponsored horse. You will receive a photograph of the horse you have chosen and their story.
Thank you for your support. For more information please contact us.

More Ways to Help...
Adopt or Sponsor a mare from Ranch One
Equine Voices has purchased the five mares below. They just had their babies and need sponsors! The inability to take more horses this year due to being at capacity has forced us to keep the mares in Canada. There are 30 mares and 28 foals left at Ranch One, an out of business PMU farm. Please help us sponsor the mares we have saved. For $75/month, you can help us feed these wonderful mares through the winter.
