Mollie

Herd Member at PMR Sanctuary

Hi, my name is Mollie, and I have a story to tell.

I spent years as a ‘bucking bronco’ in the rodeo, but when I turned 10, I was sent to the Fallon Feed and Kill Lot in Nevada, where my fate seemed sealed.  Luckily, I was rescued by a kind woman, but my fear and trauma made me untouchable. Her husband wanted me gone, and she feared for my safety. Who would take in a horse as scared and reactive as I was, especially a pregnant one?

That’s when PMR stepped in and gave me a chance. They saw how vulnerable I was—frightened, sad, and wary of everyone. They let me settle into a quiet pasture, giving me the space I needed to feel safe again.

Just three weeks later, I gave birth to a beautiful dove-gray filly. We decided that such a special baby deserved a fancy name, so she was called Taloulah Mae. Today, she goes by Taloulah Moon and is living in Montana).

Since arriving here over nine years ago, I’ve come a long way. Thanks to the patient and loving care I’ve received, I’ve learned to trust again. I’m still scared and feel vulnerable at times, but I now play an important role in the sanctuary’s therapeutic and healing programs, helping others through my own journey of resilience and recovery.

Besides hay, grain, and grazing whenever I want, the sanctuary gives me anti-inflammatories, vitamin C, CBD, and on my luckiest days… peppermint puff candy! Please consider becoming my sponsor.  With your support, I can continue to heal and help others do the same.

Sincerely,
Mollie 💞🐎💞 

P.S. Did I mention I love peppermint puff Candy? 🍬

P.P.S If you visit me, you’ll notice scars on both sides of my belly. They’re not painful, just visible reminders of my past as a bucking bronco in a rodeo—caused by a flank strap tied tightly around my belly to make me buck, leaving wounds that have now scarred over.
