From Pyramid Foal to Therapy Horse in Egypt

In 2013, on Jill’s first visit to Egypt Equine Aid, she met a scrawny foal in the notorious pyramid area. All ribs and angles, with the wary expression of a youngster born into a world where weakness is not tolerated. His name was Mahzouz.

Foals born into the pyramid area face a hard future. If they survive, they work. When they can no longer work, many are discarded. 

Good feed, proper hoof care, veterinary support and, crucially, safety began to change him.  The sharp hips softened, his coat regained its shine; the anxious foal learned to rest.  Before long, he was cantering across the sand, no longer surviving but thriving.
