The unfortunate part of this information is that it is not true. The first 2 sentences of your post are correct. The remainder of it is not. These are very pampered horses who are treated very well. The foals are not sent to slaughterhouses. There are other forms of estrogen available. Most have not been studied as well as premarin nor for as long.
