 The story of the happy ending:
Bella
& Jasper!
When horses are warehoused in feedlots, they’re usually waiting to be auctioned, and
auctioned horses are often slaughter-bound. It’s a tragedy hard for any horse lover to see.
CCHR director Cindy Murphree recently learned of a pregnant mare that was stuck in a
feedlot in Fallon, Nevada. This horse was beginning to foal, so it was put in a separate
area, where it later gave birth. It was not a good place for the foal to survive, (much less
the mother.) Cindy went into action and began working with a rescue group that pulls
horses out of that specific Nevada feedlot whenever they can.
Cindy began talking to her CCHR volunteers and others about donations to help get this
mama horse and baby out of the feedlot and transported to our ten-acre Ojai facility.
Another rescuer helped sponsor part of the transport and took care of them for the night
as they awaited their long journey to Ojai. From there, the horses were driven south, a
taxing two-day drive, and they arrived April 2nd. The foal was
11 days old when they
got here. Both were exhausted and traumatized, but soon so happy to be safe and secure
in their cozy new stall. They’re now receiving around the clock CCHR care, surrounded
by adoring volunteers who shower them with love and attention. “They could finally
relax, and they did!”, said Cindy. “Bella is a terrific mom. I think she thinks she hit the
jackpot. She is very happy and let’s us work with her and her baby!!”
Bella
now, 8 months later!
