Calan Horse Sanctuary

Found collapsed under a tree, Irish, a once beautiful, kind, Standardbred, was a bag of bones, covered in scratches from head to tail and left to rot.  

When rescued by Calan Horse Sanctuary, dental exams found an even worse situation inside this poor fella with deep grooves down the sides of his mouth from years of neglect, so painful he couldn’t eat.

With no self esteem and rightful anger towards humans, Irish was brought back from the brink by the loving hands and care of Alan Gent, CHS founder.  (For stories on all our horses, visit http://calan.cavalletti.com.au/ourhorses.html )

Irish is but one of 16 horses currently being cared for,  some with similar stories of abuse, neglect and abandonment. Honner, the horse with one eye in the photo, is another. 

You can secure a bright future for these deserving equines through donations that will enable us to complete the remaining stables that will provide 'true sanctuary' for a few more last chance horses where they will never be hurt again.
