Winter is getting closer, and we’re doing everything we can to make sure the horses at our partner shelter, Horse Paradise, have enough hay to see them through the cold months ahead.
One of those horses is beautiful Barhan.
Barhan wasn’t always a rescue horse. He was once a talented show jumper, competing alongside some of Ukraine’s best riders. But the war changed everything.
When his owner could no longer look after him, Barhan was left with almost nothing to eat. He survived on raw rice grains, becoming terribly thin and unwell. There were real fears that he wouldn’t make it through another winter.
Thankfully, the wonderful team at Horse Paradise agreed to take him in when no other sanctuary could. Barhan finally had somewhere safe to go, and people who would give him the care he so desperately needed.
His story is just one of many, and it’s why our Emergency Hay Appeal means so much to us.
These horses have been through so much, yet they still have so much love to give. At Horse Paradise, they also bring comfort to soldiers and children whose lives have been turned upside down by the war.
We know times are difficult for everyone, but if you can spare a little to help us keep these horses fed this winter, it would mean the world to us.
