remi

Remington is a 21 year old mustang from Paisley Desert HMA Oregon. She was rescued from a kill pen in Washington state. When the lady who saved her contacted the man who originally adopted her he was devastated to hear that she had ended up so close to shipping to slaughter. So many people don’t understand that when they take a family horses to auction that the chances of them ending up in the slaughter pipeline are incredibly high. Kill buyers frequent these livestock auctions to pick up cheap horses to then sell them for their meat. Remi was one of the lucky ones and after being saved and taken care of for many years by her savior she was approved to come to Skydog and retire in peace with a herd of her own. She lives with us now at Skydog Malibu and is loved by many people including wonderful actress Beth Behrs who sponsors her. What a lucky girl Remi is xxx
