True, and upon looking at the photos I wonder if any of the mares are registered, or even purebred for that matter?

Ah yes, but there were some Fjord cross colts there that looked like they would make very nice geldings. Both fillies and colts which are not registerable CAN make very good 'using horses'. Just try to choose the cross that best fits what you want to use the horse for eventually. And the price is right, plus you are doing something kind for an animal that just deserves a chance to live out its life. Mary = Mary Thurman Raintree Farms [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: PMU Fjord-cross foals for adoption
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I understand why there are those who do not wish to engage in an endless debate about the ethics of PMU farms. For the record, I am one of them. I am a wee bit nettled that some individuals think my original post is apparently an invitation to do so. To repeat the gist of my original message: If someone on this list wants to adopt a Fjord-cross PMU foal that would otherwise have gone to a packing plant, you now have the information necessary to do so -- see my previous post on this topic. Based on a question sent to me by private email, I will add that no Fjord-cross horse can be registered with either the U.S. NFHR or the Canadian CFHA. The parents of these cross-bred foals, at least according to NFHR rules, are also ineligible for (continued) registration. DeeAnna

Re: PMU Fjord-cross foals for adoption
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wouldn't it be easier to organize such a protest movement against the whole PMU business that even the chosen ones in the business would run for their safety and end the problem by using synthetics? If you kill their profits or pie their faces badly enough, they move on. No more PMU foals to have to save. Merek

What I would like to know if these colts and fillies will have future health problems and if anyone out there has adopted any I am very interested after seeing the site.

Re: PMU Fjord-cross foals for adoption
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] And from us, Thanks Jean . Wondering how are all the people that have had some accidents lately are.Hope all are on the mend and enjoying the weather and their Fjords. Amy has been horse farming at Lynn Millers this last week and again this week. She enjoys that so much. Mowing the hay and bringing it to the stack and then up on the stack, making a beautiful stack for winter feeding. Like her dad she feels she was born 100 years to late. Give us the OLE days.

Re: PMU Fjord-cross foals for adoption
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I have talked many women out of using Premarin and switching to estrogen replacement hormones made from other sources than mare's urine. There are several that are manufactured from sweet potatoes that work just as well according to their doctors. And the women seem just as satisfied with the other medication. From the literature I have read from PETA, and the photos I have seen of the farming practices used to collect mare's urine, it is a practice that seems cruel to any horse lover. Similar to veal farming. And there is the issue with the discarded foals. If List readers looked in to this, maybe they can "convert" more women into switching from Premarin to something else.
PMU Fjord-cross foals for adoption
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I was extremely surprised to learn recently that there are some Fjord-cross foals being born at the PMU (pregnant mare urine) farms in Alberta and Manitoba, Canada. I thought maybe some people on this email list might be interested in adopting one of these foals, so I'm passing the info along to you all. (Pregnant mare urine is used to manufacture Premarin, a product taken by menopausal women to replace the estrogen their bodies used to naturally manufacture.) Each fall, the weaned foals are sold at auction. According to information at FoalQuest, http://www.pmufoalquest.com , over two-thirds of the auctioned PMU foals do go to good homes. The remaining foals will go to meat buyers, unless they are rescued by one of a number of groups who attempt to save the unwanted foals. One person on a draft-horse forum I read said that many draft and draft-cross foals are at greater risk of being bought for slaughter, because many auction buyers don't want draft foals. Anyway, if you are interested in adopting a PMU foal from FoalQuest, you have until August 31 to mail a contract, a "wish list" of the kind of foal desired, and the appropriate funds ($500 for light, $600 for draft cross, and $700 for draft). The details are available at the website. There are photos of two Fjord-cross foals available for adoption at: http://albums.photopoint.com/j/AlbumIndex?u=88874&a=12700010&f=0 (look for #49 and #02, Belgian-Fjord foals -- #49 in particular has the classic brown dun Fjord coloring) I don't have any affiliation with FoalQuest, by the way.
