June and your baby Fawn, we are honored to welcome you into your second chance at life.
A terrified reservation mom arrived to the auction on a semi truck packed with other wild horses after a 10 hour trip. She came in with her baby, Fawn, who was less than 3 days old, skin and bones. June was emaciated, starving, and not producing milk. Because Fawn was so tiny, she quickly came down with pneumonia from the cold transport and filthy k*** pen conditions.
This is the time of year when reservation horses are rounded up. Baby season means more money, drought is affecting the reservations, and there is profit to be made shipping them.
We were able to rescue both mama and baby, and that was so important, why? Because they would have been separated. June would have been shipped, and Fawn would have been left orphaned. Anything to make more money in the end.
We rushed Junie and Fawn to the ICU immediately after we secured them. Fawn needed colostrum and urgent treatment for pneumonia. They both spent a week in ICU, and once June was eating and started regaining her first bit of energy, she slowly began producing milk. That milk is vital for Fawn’s first weeks and months of development. A foal’s immune system starts developing at birth, but the first few months are crucial. A baby this young should never have to endure an auction.
They are now safe in quarantine, healing and decompressing.
Baby Fawn loves her naps in the sun almost as much as she loves staying close to her mom.
This happened because our Sun Horse community came together and believed in them. This is their second chance at life, a life where they will be safe, loved and cared for. Welcome to freedom 🤍
