Swan the Alpine Mare

  Swan the Alpine Wild Mare's Story: Separated from her baby far too soon, Swan went through a public auction and her future was gravely uncertain!! We learned that this mare's baby, Birdie, was also in this auction, and that the pair were members of the beautiful but lost stallion, Bear's family from the wild before their round up in August 2023. We decided to act fast to reunite the two, so both were saved from the auction and reunited in December 2023! We quickly realized that we already have this mare's yearling filly, Flamingo, at our sanctuary! She was one of the five displaced Alpines we took in back in October. We were able to reunite them all, which is an amazing feat for a family who has been torn apart for months and months! But their story doesn't end there, and we were determined to pull off a Christmas Miracle....so we found Bear and reunited him with Swan and Birdie just before Christmas 2023!!!  Swan is a great mama, and she is a very curious type of horse.
