Moapa Valley Paints A rancher in Moapa Valley, Nevada breeds papered paints. He claims he is going out of business because of hay prices and water issues, but others say this sale is a yearly event. Whatever the true story is, there is a group of 20 brood mares about 10-12 yrs old, a 2 yr old filly, 7 colts and 15 foals on the way who will be sent to slaughter unless buyers are found.
As much as Miracle Horse Rescue would like to aid in this rescue effort, not only do we not have the additional room, we do not have the guarantee that we will have the financial ability to purchase food for more horses. The rancher is asking $400 each. They will need shoes, vaccinations and training.
If you have the room and financial resources to help these horses, or if you know of someone who can help, please call 702-375-4462.
