Our Foals

Penny Lane Foal Rescue rescues orphaned and abandoned foals throughout New Mexico. Our Training Center provides intensive rehabilitation, socialization, and foundation skills to these most vulnerable little ones. We specialize in rescuing and rehabilitating medically fragile orphaned Mustang foals and weanlings, those who are unlikely to survive without intensive medical interventions. Our rescues are surrendered and transferred to us by their owners and other agencies across New Mexico. The foals remain in our care until we secure their loving, forever homes. They receive on-going vet and farrier care, intensive socialization, and extensive foundation skills at Penny Lane Foal Rescue and Training Center.

 

Penny Lane Foal Rescue's "Elva Mico Emergency Assistance Fund" provides emergency assistance and support for those rescuing foals from round-ups on public land and reservation, livestock auctions, and owners who can no longer care for the foals throughout New Mexico and on the Navajo Nation. This assistance includes milk replacer, foal specific nutrition, Ulcergard, blankets, emergency veterinarian care, and gelding assistance for colts through one year's old.
