I suspect this was not Mama's first rodeo either. She's a sweet mare. Two for the price of one!

A number of years ago, there were a bunch of these draft/cross mares on the market when the pharma companies stopping using pregnant mare's urine to make the estrogen supplement, Premarin. They finally figured out how to synthesize it-- a good thing, because those mare's quality of life was pretty terrible. They were kept pregnant all the time, and the foals were taken away from them and sold just to get rid of them. There were a bunch of farms in Canada. I knew someone who adopted one of the foals.

This lady looks like she's going to have a good time! This video kind of struck me because my last mare was a gray, named Belle. I bought her when she was five, and she passed on at 35. She was my girl, and we had many adventures.
