The cycle of life

As we await the little long ears that BradyLynn is carrying and seems not to want to let go of at this point, we have some sad news to share with you all.

Misty, the Queen of MHR&S and mother of Spirit, received her wings very early this morning. She has not been doing well for the past few months and has been closely watched. Due to the many, many breeding episodes during  her life, her body began to fail her. Her uterine issues came back this week and early this morning, the vet, Dr Henesler, was called.  She was in renal failure and he assisted her in getting her wings.

Because of irresponsible constant breeding by her owners, Misty was almost always in foal. Once she became "too old" but in foal she was being sent to slaughter when Stephanie and the MHR&S supporters found her and rescued her.
Her last delivery was Spirit, Barbaro's Spirit.

Now we await BradyLynn's last long ear foal. She will never be bred again.  This is our  solemn promise to all the mares at MHR.


Long live Queen Misty
