Premarin is the subject of much Contention . Animal Rights activists claim that animal husbandry and urine collection methods used in Premarin's production cause undue stress and suffering to the Mare s involved. Additionally, there is an overabundance of poorly bred foals is produced by PMU farms each year. Since larger horses produce more urine, most Premarin mares are Draft Horse s. PMU farmers want to produce smaller Foal s to reduce feed costs therefore most Premarin mares are bred to lighter saddle horse Stallion s rather than draft stallions. The draft cross foals that result are poorly bred and while often make good riding horses are not in great demand by the general riding public. As with cross bred dogs ( Mutts ), there are more cross bred horses than there is demand for them. Some PMU farms attempt to increase the value of their foals by breeding their production mares with good quality and/or "colored" stallions (stallions which are likely to produce interestingly colored offspring like Paint s or Palomino s). Invariably, however, most PMU foals--colored or not--end up bound for Slaughter House s. EXTERNAL LINKS
