The Blessed brodmare Project was started
by Deb Buckler and a group of concerned model horse artists,
in efforts to save a herd of PMU mares and foals headed for slaughter.
Please go see the horses at: www.theanimalifarm.com The Animali Farm in Santa Maria, Calif., has
been helping the PMU farms in Canada close down and place their
horses in loving homes.
 |
The Blessed Broodmare Project is fundraising
to help lower the cost of adopting and shipping these fine horses.
We are offering 25 of the original Mini Haggis by Kitty Cantrell,
resculpted to be mares and with different manes and tails by
Deb Buckler. Each one will be painted by a different model horse
artist and sold on E-Bay. The total proceeds will go to helping
these mares. They will be signed, numbered, and come with certificates
of authenticity.
Any one donating $300. or more for one of these "Mini Hagginas"
will recieve a free BBMP teddy bear!

We can do this! These lovely
mares and their unborn babies do not have to die. Please consider
donating on their behalf. These horses will make nice companion
horses or even riding horses. Please check out the BBMP items
at the Cafepress store here:

This filly is a half sister to our rescued
PMU colt Indigo and she, like several others, is available. Indigo
could well have faced slaughter if we had not rescued him 2 years
ago. |

Janice Wiliford has been extremely helpful
in the TBBP. She is managing the sales of the Hagginas on E-Bay
and has also created four custom Mini Haggis mares called "Boudin".
Boudin is actually an American version of the scottish dish,
Haggis. The Boudins will be available soon.
Kim Swanson is also sculpting Two that will be named Boudin as
well |

Here comes the King! This is a special
Mini Haggis sculpted to be a stallion with ears back and a long
flowing mane and tail by Deb Buckler. Lisa Bickford has very
kindly offered to paint him in the likeness of the draft/paint
stallion named King that is the father of many of the PMU foals..
He will be offered for sale on E-Bay, and all proceeds will go
to help the mares. |
