The Pregnant Mare Rescue has written a series of books addressing tough issues children sometimes face. The inspiration to write these stories comes directly from our rescues. In over thirteen years, working primarily as a horse rescue, specializing in pregnant mares and orphaned foals, we have also saved the lives of dogs, cats, squirrels, guinea pig, donkeys and rabbits.All of these animals have experienced either grief, death of a loved one, violence, abandonment, abuse, neglect, fear, emotional trauma, family loss and all of them have shown how resilience and hope can help the healing process. Based on the real experiences of our rescues, the stories send a message of love, forgiveness, and the possibility of hope for children everywhere.The Pregnant Mare Rescue brought in a reading specialist, an equine therapy clinician and psychologist to critique, advise and comment as we created our stories.Our observation is that every animal has the capacity to provide healing messages of hope. We have witnessed their remarkable behavior.
