It was in 2008 when Shiju noticed two emaciated horses tied under a tree for days without water and food. He did what you do when you have a soft heart and a strong mind. He took them under his wings, and they were soon healing and growing into sound and healthy horses.

 

Little did he know back then what this would turn into a few years later!

 

When I, Astrid, the German, joined in 2010, Shiju's two rescue horses had already turned into eight. I had recently started a job in Nigeria and I too had no idea how this “adventure” would turn into a passion and commitment to help abandoned, injured and neglected horses.
