We’re thrilled to share that there are no longer any horses working in rubbish collection on the island. Thanks to your support, we were able to replace the last four working ponies with motorbikes — and safely rehome every one of them.
Where are they now?
Agus has found a kind new home as a taxi pony, where his working hours have been drastically reduced. He now enjoys a clean, comfortable stable, fresh water, plenty of food, and a much easier life. We recently visited him and were so happy to see him healthy, relaxed, and well cared for.
Chocolate has joined the herd at Horses of Gili, where he’s rediscovering his confidence around people. He loves his freedom, and his paddock time is doing wonders for his spirit and health — especially his hind end movement.
Rainbow and Mamba are living happily at Stud, enjoying full-time turnout in spacious paddocks. Mamba is calm, affectionate, and loves his daily grooming sessions, while Rainbow — once extremely anxious — is growing more confident by the day.
Why We Need You
These ponies have given over 15 years of hard work. They’ve earned every moment of their retirement — but we can’t provide this safe, peaceful life for them without your help.
