Marable Farms Draft Refuge: Part of the Peace For All Animals Community

Marable Farms Draft Refuge: Part of the Peace For All Animals Community Drafts are often used and abused by certain groups until they are no longer seen as valuable or useful.

Our sanctuary was created after rescuing our sweet Moose from a local kill pen, where we realized there was a need to help save these gentle giants from slaughter. When they can no longer pull carriages or farm equipment, they are discarded at kill pens, where they eventually ship to slaughter and become part of the meat trade. Even with his arthritic knees and battered body, Moose has proven to b

e the best therapy for our family, and it is our belief that by providing more horses with sanctuary, they will be able to spread messages of love and peace to a larger population.

We finally found a Moose-sized coat!! It’s a 90” and he could probably take a 92”-94” but it was brand new and super cheap on Marketplace so we grabbed it. And now Moosie Moose is handsome *and* warm!!
Everyone is blanketed and ready for the 20 degree nights 🤎❤️💗.

We just built Fiona a slow(ish) hay feeder!! She is a little leery of it (it smells like fence because it’s made of old boards) but the other 2 highly approve, and will help make sweet Fi more comfortable with this scary change.

Not sure what plant these came from, but it will be dug up and burned tomorrow! Just picked all of these (plus another handful that is not pictured) out of Moose’s forelock 😳.

It always amazes me to watch this completely blind giant find her feed solely using her sense of smell. She moves her head/body in a zigzag pattern until she zeroes in on her bowl. Sweet Fiona has the kindest and gentlest soul ❤️

Accurate!
Miss Maggie is on dry lot rest because she is trying to founder (her eyes are bigger than her tiny body…classic pony); she is less than thrilled at the moment, but she will love us again when her feet feel better :)

This is the largest Rescue in our area, and though we know times are tough for everyone, if you could somehow show your support for their amazing work by helping them with their Amazon list, the giants at Marable Farms would be super appreciative!

This video is the reality of how traumatic fireworks can be to animals (and people). Last night was rough on poor Fiona!

This video is the reality of how traumatic fireworks can be to animals (and people). Last night was rough on poor Fiona! I kept her halter and lead line on the prevent her from going through a fence and talked or sang or hummed to her the entire time, while my husband offered treats and "sweet tea" (water plus sweet feed) because she was literally dripping sweat from being so scared. After 1-2 hours of “circling” at a walk/trot, the booms finally stopped and we were able to settle sweet Fiona for the night.

We decided to sit on the porch to better appreciate the first rain we have had in at least a month, and got to watch a hummingbird grab a quick snack.

While I scooped his grain, someone decided he needed an appetizer. Ps the wagon was placed about a foot away from where he had pulled it to in the video. 😂

Peter Crumpet has grown! When we brought him home he was not allowed outside because he could fit through the fencing of his enclosure, which left him vulnerable to predators. Now, after only a couple weeks, Peter can enjoy being a bunny and doing all his favorite bunny things. He LOVES hopping around his safe space!! Enjoy his cute little hops and the zoomies :)
