>>Ok folks....it's that time of year again.....PMU Foal
>>Quest is getting geared up for 2002 adoptions. They
>>are now accepting applications. www.pmufoalquest.com
>>Soon the new babies will be born and pictures will go
>>up on the web to pick out your foal from. I'll keep
>>you posted!

>>
>>
>>PMU FoalQuest Drop-Off Requirements
>>
>>Drop-off locations can be anywhere that is safe and
>>suitable for the quick loading and unloading of foals.
>>Some potential sites include:
>>
>>„X Private farms or stables
>>„X Auction marts
>>„X Fair grounds
>>„X Riding arenas or facilities
>>
>>Specific requirements are explained further below.
>>
>>FENCING
>>
>>Fencing should be secure enough to hold 14 to 19 young
>>foals with no chance of escape or damage to property
>>or foals. This will be preferably be made of planks,
>>boards, solid (wood) rails, pipe, etc. Minimum
>>height of 4 feet, NO BARBED WIRE or large pastures.
>>
>>There must be a smaller area or catch pen within the
>>main pen/corral with some sort of an alleyway set up
>>for sorting and loading and unloading foals. It is
>>much too stressful for the foals if they have to be
>>chased around a large pen while being sorted.
>>The catch pen/alleyway can simply be set up
>>temporarily using portable panels.
>>
>>LOCATION
>>
>>A drop-off must have sufficient space for a truck
>>hauling a 30 foot trailer to pull in, unload, and turn
>>around.
>>Ideally drop offs should be located as close as
>>possible to main routes.
>>
>>OTHER REQUIREMENTS
>>
>>„X Access to clean, fresh water and hay
>>„X Adequate shelter from rain, wind or snow. (
>>run-in shed, windbreak, etc. )
>>„X Drop-off person(s) must be available and
>>present when the hauler is scheduled to arrive.
>>
>>Adopters are to arrange to have their foal picked up
>>within 48 hours of their arrival at the drop off
>>location. Adopters will be responsible for the cost
>>of any feed and care after this 48 hour period.
>>
>>To avoid injury to humans and foals¡Kplease ensure
>that
>>you only allow experienced people in the corrals to
>>sort and load the foals.
>>
>>We¡¦d like to have at least one drop-off per
>>state/province, and two or three for larger
>>states/provinces. Please contact your local area rep
>>if you have suitable facilities or could help arrange
>>for one in your area.
>>
>>If anyone is interested or knows someone who
>>is...please feel free to email me at
