Also this winter our teams in Romania give away free horse blankets and other utensils to impoverished horse owners.
The work with horses and donkeys is widespread in Romania. Especially the poor population uses the "aid" horse to earn their living. These horses work hard and receive little care. Many of them spend the winter in draughty huts (see picture). The distribution of horse blankets for the coldest season as well as education helps a lot.
We also distribute our children's booklet on how to handle working horses and donkeys in such areas. In addition, we are again planning outreach weeks with Romanian farriers on site.
