Nevaeh and Adajio
Nevaeh and Adajio
These 5-month-old colts are the product of an underground industry that essentially is puppymilling for horses: So thoroughbred mares can get right back on the track, their newborn foals are given to “nurse mares” whose displaced offspring are simply left to die or sent to slaughter. Rescue Ink helped equine advocate Amanda Sorvino of the Gray Dapple Thoroughbred Assistance Program rescue five of these unwanted weeks-old babies and place them in loving foster and forever homes.
Nevaeh (which is “heaven” spelled backwards) is a petite sorrel female, and Adajio is a palamino male. They have been raised by Pennsylvania-based rescuer Marlene Boyd, who they follow around like she is their mother. Now that the foals are weaned and getting independent, Marlene plans to train them for riding, and would love to see them in family homes. Contact her at 717-867-1543. Via Rescue Ink
