Silent Sunday on Frequently Feline: Happy Mare's Day!

Mother's Day, is a special day we set aside to honor our moms.

In the spirit of Mother's Day, I chose this very special "mom", Callie, rescued from the slaughter pen. It is not only the sick and elderly that are sent to slaughter. Just like Callie, many are young and healthy horses in desperate need of homes.

This very lucky mare had a weanling at her side and was pregnant with the foal featured in this touching video from ksbg195

Let's thank the "horse moms" who lovingly rescued these horses in order to give  them a second chance for a meaningful and happy life, by leaving a comment for them.

Happy Mother's Day!

I am grateful for these wonderful people who are kind and loving enough to rescue these beautiful horses. Too many of them end up in slaughter houses for no reason other than the owner wouldn't take the time to try to find them good homes. They all deserve to have a second chance.

It is a tragedy so many healthy horses end up in slaughter houses because they can't find homes. Bless You -- THANK YOU for taking in Callie!! :>)
