From nurse mares actively caring for orphaned foals to matriarchs enjoying a well-earned retirement, each mare plays a vital role in our mission.

For years, ColdSpring mares have sustained the equine industry—nurturing over 400 foals, supporting farms in crisis, and dedicating their lives to the preservation of our industry.

Your donation ensures exceptional daily care, humane transitions, and the sustainability programs that make these services affordable and accessible to farms and foals in need.

Help us make the ethical solution, the only solution.

Support Our Mission

  • One time donations help give us the push we need to make it through each month! These provide opportunities when we’re strapped for cash, or when the unexpected happens.

  • Monthly, Quarterly, and Annual commitments allow us to budget for the year. We can use these commitments to set our pricing, take on new mares, retire mares, and provide more pairings to foals in need.

  • Coming soon! Check back for our CSM Fundraising Tool Kit for how you, your barn, team, or group can help support our program!

  • We are looking for strategic mutually beneficial partnerships with organizations. These partnerships are integral to the sustainability and future expansion of our program. If you would like to discuss becoming a title sponsor, paddock sponsor, stall sponsor, or other event/partnership opportunity, please send us an email at info@coldspringmares.com one one of our Board Members will reach out to you.

What Our Clients Are Saying

Yes! I highly recommend Coldspring Mares! After tragically losing our World Champion AQHA mare we were at a loss. Thankfully, our attending vet and breeding manager recommended Coldspring Mares. Bronwyn Watts was amazing from my first tearful contact. Nurse mare Brandy (we call her Saint Brandy) arrived several days later. Bronwyn provided prompt, calming and encouraging solutions. Brandy bonded immediately making the transition as seamless as possible (all things considered). She was an excellent mother - appropriately protective yet sensible. An easy mare to have around. She raised a gorgeous colt for us and will always be remembered fondly.

We had an unexpected orphan Welsh pony foal this year and needed a nurse mare quickly. BRONWYN at ColdSpring Was super helpful in providing the wonderful Loretta for our baby. Loretta bonded with the colt quickly and has been a wonderful surrogate mother for him. I highly recommend their services.

My mare was diagnosed with gastric rupture 3 days after foaling. Her filly went to the hospital ER with her and left as an orphan. The ER vets recommended ColdSpring Mares; they brought her a surrogate nurse mare within 8 hours. The nurse mare is AMAZING; my husband calls her the professional. It has been over 2 months and our filly is thriving; Thank you ColdSpring Mares!
