Hope is a 4 year old, 18hh registered Percheron mare who arrived at the rescue in June 2025 as part of a group (the “Windham 8”) seized by Animal Control officers for neglect. She was underweight, had neglected hooves and teeth, and was also pregnant. Hope also suffers from severe kyphosis (“roach back”), a conformational defect which causes her spine to curve upwards like a hump. As the legal proceedings have not been finalized, Hope is not yet available for adoption and she will not be adopted until her foal is weaned.
