Hi Jody. I don't think that they would. The best mares will be sent to the police breeding program..what's left over will be either shot or homed. Even the ones to be homed will be weak and not able to travel far distances...I live 1000kms from the stud and therefore I don't hold out much hope to get one. Also re. export, you must remember we have a nasty virus called African Horse Sickness...it can kill a horse in 12 hours and a herd within a week, and these horses might carry it because they are in a area where it is present and considering how badly they were looked after, one must assume their innoculations aren't up to date. So big risk for you, big risk for the horse. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news...
bye, Carl
