Equine Outreach report – part 3. Φροντίδα Ιπποειδών, Μέρος 3ο.

Our Friday continues and we now continue to a completely new area, the district of Amariou in Rethymnon Province. We have some difficulty finding these villages, whose residents contacted us following our press release in Heraklion newspapers prior to the start of the Outreach week. With the help of the local village priest we find donkeys who are in [...]

On Wednesday we make a nice early start on our way to the south and the Messara area but first a stop in Archanes to see a new donkey, rescued by a kind Greek lady and now having a lovely life amongst olive groves with a beautiful view to the bay of Heraklion. Both the feet [...]

Donkeys… a few words from Gayner…

Donkeys… Part 5/5

On their last day, as our team get ready for the airport we have a call that the donkeys seen the previous afternoon are limping and some blood was seen in the yard area. We leave early for the airport so that we can call and check ———all donkeys are walking fine and there is [...]

Donkeys… Part 4/5

Unfortunately some [...]
