PMU stands for Pregnant Mare Urine, which has been harvested from pregnant mares for use in hormone replacement therapy drugs for women since the 1940's. PMU foals are the offspring of the mares that people rescue and try to rehome. For more information about rescuing or adopting PMU horses, see the page link, further down this page, listed under "Related Links."

What is PMU?
PMU (pregnant mares' urine) What happens to PMU mares?For approximately six months from fall through spring, the pregnant mares live in the "pee barns," forced to stand in stalls with urine collection devices strapped to them. The stalls are deliberately narrow to prevent pregnant mares from turning around and detaching the collection cups. In the last month of their eleven-month pregnancy, the mares are put out to pasture to have their foals. The mares are put in a herd with a stallion, so they quickly become pregnant again. In September, their foals are taken away from them to be sold, whether or not they are fully weaned. The next month, they're back in the barns and the cycle starts again. The organization that represents the interests of the PMU ranchers, the North American Equine Ranching Information Council (NAERIC ), considers it "a testament to her health and strength" if a mare can have a foal each year for 20 years. Currently, approximately 7,000 PMU mares live on 73 contracted ranches in Manitoba, Canada. The minimum stall width specified in the regulations­ -- even for the largest draft breeds so commonly used -- is a mere five feet. A typical PMU ranch consists of a small family and one hired ranch hand responsible for feeding, cleaning and exercising nearly 100 pregnant mares at a time. All the mares stay in a rectangle stal from there chess to there rear end and or flanks
