I think this is worthy of a mention for the humungous work they do treating these horses, camels, donkeys etc.& educating the people in the process They get a heap of newbies who can't understand why the animals aren't fat, shiny & get prompt vet. treatment. Heck, they can even feed their families & don't even mention health care for them so what hope the horses? I see from the comments that we have a lot of new followers, here is a very short description of our work. Since we have many new people coming to the page these days, here is some very short info about the horses we work with. The "pyramid horses" and camels are being
used to take tourists and local Egyptians on rides around the pyramids
and the surrounding desert. Horses and donkeys are also used as
transport for locals and to pull carts selling various produce. Stables
here are small and narrow and often filled with sand, so donkeys are
used for both cleaning out manure and to bring clean sand inside. The “fatla” is a string that is threaded through the skin over the injured area. A horse with shoulder lameness can have one or several strings through his shoulder, a horse with a pelvic fracture might have strings through various places in his hindquarters. The strings are believed to “draw out infection” but unlike surgical drains they are not used in abscesses or hematomas, they are used in places where there is no accumulated pus or fluids and therefore they have no use. But horses undergoing “string treatment” are often allowed to rest, and will therefore improve. It is important to keep in mind that these methods are not developed to intentionally harm the horses, they are used on humans as well. One owner we work with had back problems, and had his back linefired by Bedouins. Our stable manager’s mother used to suffer from migraines and the doctor would use a razor blade to cut lots of tiny cuts into her forehead, believing – like the above-mentioned allergy example- that this would clear out “dirty blood”. The PFK patients that are too injured to have any quality of life are humanely euthanised. These horses are usually purchased by us for market price but more and more owners let us do it without asking for money. Animals that are too injured to work, but that can live happily as pets, are usually bought by us and retired. PFK offers all treatment free of charge, whether that is feeding a horse for two months, x-rays, wound care, farrier work or surgeries. Most important of all, we educate. We can’t change the financial situation in Egypt, but we can help the owners to better understand their animals' needs. |

Our pampered horses dont know how well off they are, do they. I have followed this org on and off for ages now. How they do what they do is beyond me.

I posted above because of the great work being done to help these animals & people which to my mind is 'feelgood' I too got repeated Internal Error notices too acacia, we'll see if this works for you
In
2015 a stray
Beagle was
found in the
woods of
Kentucky...
The Beagle was found by a good samaritan and taken to the local shelter... No one adopted the Beagle who, fortunately, was about to get some help from a rescue organization, "A Dog's Dream Rescue"... The rescue group was contacted by the shelter, who had worked with them before, and they agreed to take him...to Canada... Rescuers from "A Dog's Dream Rescue" transported the Beagle the 500 miles from Kentucky... At an adoption event, at "Pet Valu" in Milton, Ontario, a woman who was working in Canada saw the Beagle, fell in love and adopted him... The woman named the Beagle... "Guy"... That woman was an actress from the TV series "Suits"... Meghan Markle... Three years later Meghan Markle would marry Prince Harry... Guy was photographed riding in a car the day before the wedding with his new friend, The Queen of England... Guy, the abandoned beagle from Kentucky, now happily lives like royalty... at Kensington Palace. |

One of the reasons I've never owned a horse - not that I'd love to do so - is that I know the upkeep is very high. I know I don't have the resources available to cover all the costs so steer clear and love to here all the success others have. I know its difficult in other countries and they live very hand to mouth themselves. That can happen in Australia too especially during droughts in the country. But I often wonder when watching TV how if in Iran they can have water from the mountains to have lush gardens etc then why can't we do the same with the flooding rains in Queensland. Can't we invest in our farmlands to make sure our farmers livelihoods are safe and our food sources don't dry up? Are we so poor in imagination that we can't solve the problems of our eternal droughts and flooding rains. We get both and our animal friends would benefit also if we solved the problem.

Oh I luuuuuuuuuuve owls. We have a family around us and one left me an amazing beautiful feather on the front step the other week. He also picked up my small green ceramic frog from the pot plant, and promptly dropped and broke it when he twigged it was a fake.

There is a storm here and daughters dog is under my desk. Only trouble is the last thunder clap was overhead and I jumped a mile. Don't know if I'm looking after her or the other way around.

What do you give to someone who says they're Vegan when you invite them round for dinner?
The wrong address.
