Tanja found herself in the horse trade when she was only 13 months old. When she was bought by a young lady, the trouble started. She felt cheated because it turned out that Tanja needed an expensive operation due to a leg disease. The woman did not want to pay for this and immediately withdrew from the purchase contract. There Tanja stood in the clinic and was finally to be put to sleep. The doctors refused vehemently and asked us to take her in. They promised us that they would bear the costs of the operation if Tanja was allowed to live.
