After acquiring a number of Indian horse foals, some only a few days old, that had been stripped from their dams so that the mares could be shipped to slaughter, local horse advocates started raising somewhat of a stink over the practice. The state Dept. of Agriculture had investigated and warned various people that once these animals left the reservation that state animal safety standards would be enforced.
The groups have now been afforded the opportunity to acquire pairs at "meat prices," which they have done. The photos below are of horses acquired the previous week by LRTC. The dun mare is ready to foal any day and the livestock consigners sensibly avoided shipping her off in such a state. The pinto colored mare and foal appeared to be a touch under weight but otherwise in healthy condition. Photos of the three appear below. Gracie, Lucky Lady and Little Lilly
