Update (June 2, 2011).  The Lovely Peruvian Ladies have Found Their Forever Home in California!

Thank you so much to everyone for your efforts to find these beautiful mares a forever home.

Two Dynamite Peruvian Paso Ladies Seek Loving, Forever Home

(May 15, 2011).    Mystiana and Mystic are two Peruvian Paso mares as beautiful as their lilting names.   Both mares are bay, Mistiana is 15-years-old and Mystic is 12-years-old.  Judy Passalacqua, a very kind woman in Tehachapi, California, rescued both of the mares from severe hunger and neglect,

Judy has taken wonderful care of the girls.  She has provided them with veterinary care, floated their teeth, has done their feet and they are on a very good diet.  Today they are coming back beautifully.  Judy says that she was told that Mistiana had extensive training under saddle but she has not ridden either of the mares yet.  She was just letting them recover from their ordeal.

Judy lives in a gated equestrian community and she is over the number of horses she can have.  She only took the mares to rescue them and start them on their way to a wonderful new life with a family of their own to love and take care of them.  They were two of more than 40 horses including Peruvians and other breeds whose custodians fell into serious financial trouble and stopped feeding them adequately.  The custodians, who at one time had over 100 horses, have let some of the nearby horse people have some of the horses under pressure from the local animal control.   Pictures of Mistiana and Mystic and their personal slide show can be viewed by going to the following link

The ladies have made remarkable improvements as you can see by clicking on the links below where their pictures on the day Judy took custody of them appear.

I am not clear at this point if they are registered with NAPHA. If you are interested in adopting these gorgeous Peruvian mares from the land of the Andes and the romantic Marinera dance, please contact the Conquistador Program and we will put you in touch with Judy.

Judy just wants the mares to have a good, loving home.

Thank you so much.
