On or about 3/17/08 we received a phone call from a lady named Fran asking us if we were in a position to take in two Arabian mares. Fran had previously placed her horses with Free Spirit Arabians/ Pat Bain Montes which was supposed to be a sanctuary for Arabian horses. The story was that the ‘owner’ of the sanctuary was going through a divorce, could no longer care for the horses and they needed to rehomed. Subsequent research indicates that all the horses on the property are in dire need of help and that these horses have been lacking proper care for quite some time.
TIER was not in a position to bring more horses in so we contacted Carol Darnell who is well known in the Arabian community as an advocate for rescue. Carol then began to network with her contacts and Fran. Marci de la Torre, owner of Pegasus Park Arabians, Temecula, CA, agreed to go pick up the horses and provide a safe haven for them. Marci made arrangements with the sanctuary to pick up the horses the weekend of March 21st .
Marci arrived to find the two mares, Fatimar & Penny in terrible condition and the remaining 12 horses also in need of help. Two of the horses were blanketed in order to camouflage their terrible condition. Fatimar was one of the mares covered with a blanket. Marci took Fatimar & Penny to her home where they are now safe and already responding. However; there are still horses on the property in need.
