LITTLETON — Six wild mustangs rescued from a Nebraska ranch where 60 horses died have found a new home at Zuma’s Rescue Ranch in Littleton.
When the horses from the 3-Strikes Ranch near Alliance, Neb., arrived Tuesday for rehabilitation, four of them were pregnant. Two have given birth since arriving — including one early Friday morning. Two more foals are due by June 15.
“Thinking many of them were not going to make it and to see them here alive and healthy and delivering healthy foals is unbelievable,” said Zuma owner Jodi Messenich.
After the horses are healthy, Messenich said, some will be saddle trained for a psychotherapy program at Zuma’s Rescue Ranch for children in foster care.
