Animal lovers who had been buying horses from foal markets for years and passing them on got into financial problems themselves in 2012. They were unable to sell the foals they had rescued and were left with their charges. The animal friends had problems to provide for their animals and asked us for help. At first, we sent hay so that the animals at least had food. When this was not enough, we were asked to give some of the animals a home with us. This is how the beautiful Haflinger mix Ricko became a member of our family.
