Sara is a PregnantMaresUrine foal that we adopted from a farm in Alberta Canada through FoalQuest. There are many Ranchers in the US & Canada that breed mares each year so that they can collect the urine from them while they are pregnant. This urine has Estrogen in it and is used for many medicines. Each year these ranchers must sell the foals and unfortunately many end up at auctions and ultimately feed lots.

FoalQuest was started by Jan Turnbull who lives in Alberta Canada. She wanted to help these foals to find good homes. Each year she went to all the farms in her area and took pictures of the foals and posted them on her website. FoalQuest is no longer in operation. Many of the farms in that area have been shut down due to a drop in the market for Estrogen.

The above photo is at Jan's House in Alberta. Look at all the gorgeous foals that are waiting at Jan's to head home to their new Moms & Dads. See how much Sara has grown. She is right up there in front next to the buckskin. Jan would bring all the adopted foals to her house before they begin their journey home. They have to get halters on, be wormed and have a coggins test done. Then arrangements are made for trucking them home.
