I got this this evening. I emailed the rescue group in Arizona to see if any of the horse are ponies or minis. I will let everyone know what I hear. Has anyone heard of this Arizona rescue before? Anyone interested in rescuing a baby "big horse"?

Subject: [equineassisted] AZ horse lovers.... foster homes needed for several foals headed for slaughter!
Today we learned that a ranch in Nevada is closing down. They are sending all the mares and geldings to Canada for slaughter. The foals, ages 2 weeks to 3 months are being sent to Mexico. In a short time they will overnight here in Tucson. We have the opportunity if we can find foster homes for these foals to rescue them from being slaughtered in Mexico.

The older ones will go through a weaning process, so we will need safe and secure stalls. The person or persons offering to foster these foals must have some idea on how to deal with foals and make the committment to provide all the care.
