3901 Three Fingers Peppermint Patty
MEET THE 2019 WILD SPAYED FILLY FUTURITY FILLIES!
DATE OF SALE: SEPTEMBER 15, 2018 at the Reno Snaffle Bit Futurity Horse Sale.
Protect the Harvest presents the Second Annual Wild Spayed Filly Futurity: These fillies are invited back to the 2019 Reno Snaffle Bit Futurity to compete in their own reined cow horse division – with $25,000 to the winner. We have ten fillies that will be offered in the sale with one alternate. Like with our 2018 group, we will be following the fillies and telling their stories. All of the fillies have been spayed, and vaccinated with the Zoetis Vaccine Guarantee Program.
Wild Spayed Filly Futurity Goal: The goal of the Wild Spayed Filly Futurity is to showcase the significance and abilities of these resilient, tough and beautiful horses. It will also demonstrate their trainability and hopefully encourage more people to consider a horse from our American rangelands. A second and very important goal of the program is to help find economical, safe solutions in controlling the numbers of horses on American rangelands which will allow people to appreciate them in a healthy, balanced environment in the wild.
Benefits of spaying wild fillies: Protect The Harvest has been a steady advocate for the multiple use of Federal Lands. The extreme over population of the wild horses nationally has decimated wildlife, rangelands and water sources. Over a twenty year period, there have been many attempts to control herd populations by using the birth control drug, PZP. Unfortunately, this method has been proven ineffective, costly, and unsafe when administered. Even with application of the birth control drug, mares continue to cycle. They are bred monthly by multiple stallions and never settle. Herds have to be gathered and captured annually to administer the drugs, proving to be very costly and ineffective. The spaying procedure costs less than ONE dose of PZP and is only performed once in a mare's lifetime. After the spay procedure, mares can be returned to the wild. Once spayed, a mare can safely roam the landscape, possessing all her mare behaviors, as if she was in foal.
Protect The Harvest thanks the Burns Oregon Wild Horse and Burro program for supporting our efforts and working with us to present this unique opportunity benefiting horses of the American West.
Protect The Harvest also thanks Zoetis and Priefert for their support The fillies will be sold during the Reno Snaffle Bit Futurity Sale.
