The Sanctuary: Deer Run Herd Reunion

May 5, 2013: Deer Run Herd Reunion

Cinco de Mayo marked a special day for the Deer Run herd family as they were reunited in California. The two mares, Coco and Fairlight, along with their foals, Laurel and Hummingbird, were joyfully brought together. The family will initially reside in a small pasture while the foals are young, before transitioning to a larger pasture and eventually the ranch.

The family will live in a penned pasture before being let out on the 60-acre pasture and ranch. Luna, also known as WhiteLight, and the family meet the newest generation. Pictured below: Luna meeting Hummingbird.
