The Duchess Sanctuary—owned and operated by The Fund for Animals in partnership with The HSUS—is a 1,120-acre facility south of Eugene, Ore., that was established in 2008 as an oasis for about 200 formerly abused, abandoned, neglected and homeless horses. Mares rescued from the pregnant mare urine – or PMU -- industry and their offspring make up the majority of the herd at the sanctuary. Other residents include orphaned mustangs as well as horses rescued from auctions and feedlots.
