More horses/ponies are coming to us for fresh water, baths, farrier, medical care, & equipment. We see 5-7 each week. We’ve also managed to help equip 6 locally owned beach ride horses with new (to them) bridles & kind bits. We’ve also given away (sold very cheap) several of our older English saddles to be sure as many beach ride horses as possible have safe equipment. We are currently 100% out of tack/equipment to give out to local working horses. We need non leverage bits 4-4.5 inch, pony/cob bridles (no cavessons), small halters, lead ropes, saddle pads, & SADDLES. There is a desperate need for synthetic type smaller saddles. Many beach ride horses do not have safe saddles & they are extremely difficult (or expensive) to purchase here. If you have tack you’d like to donate please contact us & we can help you get it here. Or go shopping for us on Amazon & it’s shipped right to our door! https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/3MM3SV2FRR32U?ref_=wl_share We paid down a portion of our feed bill last month but since the first of August we’ve taken in two new rescues so the bill has creeped back up to nearly $800 being currently due. Please don’t forget to like, comment, share, donate. Meta (formerly Facebook) no longer allows me to boost posts (I’ve requested a review) so this has drastically decreased our overall reach. Much love- Tori
  • This working pony received a nasty bite wound from one of his so called friends! 😳 Lucky for him his owner knew just where to bring him for care! He’s come daily for the last few days for checking and treatment…he should be back to 100% soon 😉 #horsesofgili #lombokhorse #horsesofasia #rescuehorse #rescuepony #ilovehorses #makeadifference #donatenow #horsesofinstagram #rescuehorse #rescuepony #horserescue #ponyrescue #horsecharity #indonesia #giliislands #giliTrawangan #oneponyatatime https://www.paypal.me/horsesofgili https://gofund.me/afb3daa2 https://www.patreon.com/horses_of_gili https://cash.app/$horsesofgili (NIB ) : 2706220052431 KBLI : Yayasan RUMAH KUDA GILI - Indonesian not for profit foundation

  • We literally have to turn away horses and ponies that people want to sell to us each and every day. We try to only take in those in need such as Lucy and others who were sick and/or injured…. BUT this is a BABY! Her mom was sold and she’s been left behind…only 4-5 months she needs a soft place to grow and mature a bit. She arrives tomorrow and will need a sponsor and a name 😍 Help us to rescue her and others like her by donating today! https://www.paypal.me/horsesofgili https://gofund.me/afb3daa2 https://www.patreon.com/horses_of_gili https://cash.app/$horsesofgili (NIB ) : 2706220052431 KBLI : Yayasan RUMAH KUDA GILI - Indonesian not for profit foundation #horsesofgili #lombokhorse #horsesofasia #rescuehorse #rescuepony #ilovehorses #makeadifference #donatenow #horsesofinstagram #rescuehorse #rescuepony #horserescue #ponyrescue #horsecharity #indonesia #giliislands #giliTrawangan #oneponyatatime

  • Meet Apollo! Lots of new horses are coming to the island as tourism continues to increase. This means many are coming in for examinations, deworming, and vitamins. Apollo is a youngster at about 2.5 years and he has a mild case of big head since he’s changing his teeth. He went home with a calcium and vitamin supplement after being dewormed and having some work done on his feet. Hopefully this beautiful boy can stay healthy and be happy. His local owner is very responsible 🙏🏻 #horsesofgili #lombokhorse #horsesofasia #rescuehorse #rescuepony #ilovehorses #makeadifference #donatenow #horsesofinstagram #rescuehorse #rescuepony #horserescue #ponyrescue #horsecharity #indonesia #giliislands #giliTrawangan #oneponyatatime https://www.paypal.me/horsesofgili https://gofund.me/afb3daa2 https://www.patreon.com/horses_of_gili https://cash.app/$horsesofgili (NIB ) : 2706220052431 KBLI : Yayasan RUMAH KUDA GILI - Indonesian not for profit foundation
  • We now know why Lucy is soooo painful! Her ribs are fractured! On her left side the last 3 ribs are broken 😱 By looking at videos they were normal prior to car transport but that flank looks sunken in when we arrived on the beach and she was down. Guessing it happened in the car due to her calcium deficiency? Sooo yeah that’s another problem…but she’s eating well, alert, and the pain seems to be under control. We will keep everyone posted on her progress Lucy us spomsured by Yasmin Wessel, Abi Leech, Katie Hutchinson, and Maryann Balletti #horsesofgili #lombokhorse #horsesofasia #rescuehorse #rescuepony #ilovehorses #makeadifference #donatenow #horsesofinstagram #rescuehorse #rescuepony #horserescue #ponyrescue #horsecharity #indonesia #giliislands #giliTrawangan #oneponyatatime https://www.paypal.me/horsesofgili https://gofund.me/afb3daa2 https://www.patreon.com/horses_of_gili https://cash.app/$horsesofgili (NIB ) : 2706220052431 KBLI : Yayasan RUMAH KUDA GILI - Indonesian not for profit foundation
  • Matthew (Luna’s baby) was one of the boys who was gelded a few days ago. He spent a few days feeling sorry for himself but being young he is recovering quickly 🥰.

  • Lucy getting a refreshing bath today. Right now her condition is stable I think…she’s eating well and seems slightly stronger each day. She’s not quite out of the woods yet 🙏🏻 We’ve ordered a special pelleted horse feed for her as well as supplements and NSAIDs. We are trying to support her to the best of our ability while hopefully get body heals and rebuilds the calcium missing from her bones. We’d like to take this opportunity to say a special thank you Horse Plus Humane Society in the USA for their kind auction grant. This grant and your donations have enabled us to pay nearly all of Lucy’s bail 🙏🏻 Thanks again to all of our followers and Horse Plus Humane Society for the continued support.

  • Lucy update! Lucy is improving somewhat and has a terrific appetite. The first few days we had to physically help her up and down but yesterday and today she got up on her own 🥰 She seems to have less inflammation in her face but her stifles and back legs are clearly still very uncomfortable. She is being treated with correct diet, calcium, magnesium, and vitamin and mineral supplements. She is also on a low dose of anti inflammatory for pain. We’ve submitted bloodwork to a human hospital in Lombok to make sure she doesn’t have any other problems. 🙏🏻 Lucy is proudly sponsored by @yasmin_wessel , Abi Leech, Katie Hutchinson, and Maryann Balletti If you want to sponsor a horse or pony please reach out to us to learn how! We still have several needing sponsors! #horsesofgili #lombokhorse #horsesofasia #rescuehorse #rescuepony #ilovehorses #makeadifference #donatenow #horsesofinstagram #rescuehorse #rescuepony #horserescue #ponyrescue #horsecharity #indonesia #giliislands #giliTrawangan #oneponyatatime https://www.paypal.me/horsesofgili https://gofund.me/afb3daa2 https://www.patreon.com/horses_of_gili https://cash.app/$horsesofgili (NIB ) : 2706220052431 KBLI : Yayasan RUMAH KUDA GILI - Indonesian not for profit foundation
  • Gelding day! Yesterday we gelded 5 horses/ponies! 3 of these are beach ride horses which the local owners asked us to geld. With the help of a local veterinarian and the owners of the horses all went well 😍 We hope that more local owners see the benefits of gelding and come to us for the surgery. It makes the horses easier to handle and safer for tourists. We try to help support all the working horses on the island which includes locally owned horses used for beach rides. Did you know each gelding costs about $200 in medications alone?! And we provide them for FREE We want to extend a huge thanks to Horse Plus Humane Society in the USA for providing their gelding grants which helps considerably defray the costs of surgery. Without support such as theirs and your donations we would not be able to provide this service. 🙏🏻 Please consider donations today to help us continue to provide these and other essential services (such as free fresh drinking water!) https://www.paypal.me/horsesofgili https://gofund.me/afb3daa2 https://www.patreon.com/horses_of_gili https://cash.app/$horsesofgili (NIB ) : 2706220052431 KBLI : Yayasan RUMAH KUDA GILI - Indonesian not for profit foundation #horsesofgili #lombokhorse #horsesofasia #rescuehorse #rescuepony #ilovehorses #makeadifference #donatenow #horsesofinstagram #rescuehorse #rescuepony #horserescue #ponyrescue #horsecharity #indonesia #giliislands #giliTrawangan #oneponyatatime
  • Lucy this evening having her dinner ❤️ This is the first evening that she hasn’t laid down by this time and this morning it was a bit easier to get her up 🙏🏻 Lucy has been shown lots of love by everyone and she’s very thankful. We still owe part on her bail money so donations are very welcomed 😉 #horsesofgili #lombokhorse #horsesofasia #rescuehorse #rescuepony #ilovehorses #makeadifference #donatenow #horsesofinstagram #rescuehorse #rescuepony #horserescue #ponyrescue #horsecharity #indonesia #giliislands #giliTrawangan #oneponyatatime https://www.paypal.me/horsesofgili https://gofund.me/afb3daa2 https://www.patreon.com/horses_of_gili https://cash.app/$horsesofgili (NIB ) : 2706220052431 KBLI : Yayasan RUMAH KUDA GILI - Indonesian not for profit foundation

  • Ok these aren’t the most flattering pictures of the new girl (who has been named Lucy! ❤️) but these photos show the facial swelling and enlargement which gives big head disease it’s name. This disease is hyperparathyroidism which is a fancy name for the bodies response to a calcium and phosphorus imbalance. Since many systems in the body need calcium from nerves to bones a deficiency of this critical mineral can have major implications. Horses ideally need 2 parts calcium to 1 part phosphorus to be healthy. A range is acceptable but what doesn’t work is MORE phosphorus than calcium. Unfortunately the primary diet here is rice bran and rice bran has an inverse calcium phosphorus ratio often as high as 3 parts phosphorus to 1 part calcium. This is why with a diet high in bran a correct calcium supplement is essential. We actually see mild cases of big head fairly often but rarely one this severe. Interestingly enough it seems that horses here with a high amount of import blood are much more affected than locally bred horses and in particular pregnant mares. This mare is very sweet and I believe has been loved and not abused. Her feet are trimmed and shod correctly and her history is that she was imported from Java at great expense several years ago (she’s maybe 4-5 years). My suspicion is that her becoming pregnant made the disease much worse. And the fact that there aren’t really any equine vets around to diagnose and treat the problem made it get worse more quickly. This the owners realized they had a very sick horse and reached out to the only other option that was available besides slaughter. We don’t know 100% if this is the only problem she has and we also don’t know if this illness may cause her to lose the baby. She’s alert and eating today but weak. She needed help getting up from sleeping and when we did an exam it was very hard for her to stand on 3 legs 🙏🏻 She’s in our largest stall and it’s bedded with wood shavings for her comfort Lucy has gained a number of sponsors and gotten much love Maryann Balletti, Katie Hutchinson, Abi Leech, and Yasmin Wessel surely with this much love coming her way she will survive and thrive ❤️
  • Here is a video I’ve made of todays adventure. The mare we were made aware of yesterday was set to be transported this morning. Generally a third party transports the horses to us but in this case she collapsed before she was loaded onto the boat. We quickly hired a fast boat and headed to Lombok to see what we could do. To be honest I feared the worst and took supplies for euthanasia. 😢 Thankfully once we got her up and got some fluids into her she perked up. We loaded her onto the boat and she fell again. 😭 Once again we got her up and headed home as quickly as possible. A full examination has indicated that she is most likely suffering from a severe calcium deficiency called hyperparathyroidism (big head disease). This can cause bony changes in the face, weakness, nasal discharge, joint pain, neurological symptoms. It is treatable IF caught soon enough. For now she’s home and safe. Eating well and has been treated already. She will need a sponsor and we need funds to finish paying her bail and for medical care. We will do the best we can for her 🙏🏻 https://www.paypal.me/horsesofgili https://gofund.me/afb3daa2 https://www.patreon.com/horses_of_gili https://cash.app/$horsesofgili (NIB ) : 2706220052431 KBLI : Yayasan RUMAH KUDA GILI - Indonesian not for profit foundation #horsesofgili #lombokhorse #horsesofasia #rescuehorse #rescuepony #ilovehorses #makeadifference #donatenow #horsesofinstagram #rescuehorse #rescuepony #horserescue #ponyrescue #horsecharity #indonesia #giliislands #giliTrawangan #oneponyatatime
  • She’s made it to our stables…but not without some difficulties. 😱 She collapsed at the harbor. Video to follow 🙏🏻 The most important thing is that she is here and up and eating. Treatment has already begun for what appears to be sever hyperparathyroidism (big head disease). Please consider donating towards her bail (we’ve paid hand), and her care and medications. 🙏🏻 And, yes she will need a sponsor (who can have the privilege of naming her!) https://www.paypal.me/horsesofgili https://gofund.me/afb3daa2 https://www.patreon.com/horses_of_gili https://cash.app/$horsesofgili (NIB ) : 2706220052431 KBLI : Yayasan RUMAH KUDA GILI - Indonesian not for profit foundation #horsesofgili #lombokhorse #horsesofasia #rescuehorse #rescuepony #ilovehorses #makeadifference #donatenow #horsesofinstagram #rescuehorse #rescuepony #horserescue #ponyrescue #horsecharity #indonesia #giliislands #giliTrawangan #oneponyatatime
  • And it’s been a while since we had any incoming rescues but here one is… She’s young, pregnant, lame, skinny, and skin problems…she definitely needs a soft landing. Can you please help us to pay her bail? 🙏🏻 And remember guys I’m still blocked on Facebook so we need you to share this post 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 https://www.paypal.me/horsesofgili https://gofund.me/afb3daa2 https://www.patreon.com/horses_of_gili https://cash.app/$horsesofgili (NIB ) : 2706220052431 KBLI : Yayasan RUMAH KUDA GILI - Indonesian not for profit foundation #horsesofgili #lombokhorse #horsesofasia #rescuehorse #rescuepony #ilovehorses #makeadifference #donatenow #horsesofinstagram #rescuehorse #rescuepony #horserescue #ponyrescue #horsecharity #indonesia #giliislands #giliTrawangan #oneponyatatime
  • Well guys it’s been a really horrible week for everyone. We lost Tipsy yesterday and sadly today made the difficult decision to let Gromit go 😔 Came home to relax and there was a massive fire next door to Lutwala. Super proud of all our staff and volunteers who stepped up and helped to fight the fire. Two resorts have severe damages but thankfully we’ve not heard of any serious injuries 🙏🏻 Gromit and Tipsy have joined Iceman and many others at the rainbow bridge 😢 #horsesofgili #lombokhorse #horsesofasia #rescuehorse #rescuepony #ilovehorses #makeadifference #donatenow #horsesofinstagram #rescuehorse #rescuepony #horserescue #ponyrescue #horsecharity #indonesia #giliislands #giliTrawangan #oneponyatatime https://www.paypal.me/horsesofgili https://gofund.me/afb3daa2 https://www.patreon.com/horses_of_gili https://cash.app/$horsesofgili (NIB ) : 2706220052431 KBLI : Yayasan RUMAH KUDA GILI - Indonesian not for profit foundation
  • Sadly early this morning we lost Tipsy the goat 😭 Everyone is completely heartbroken as she’s been a part of the family since 2018 and was with us during all the earthquakes. Gromit is still with us but he’s not really eating…however he is passing stool now. 🤔 His is a very unusual case but we are doing the best we can 🙏🏻 This photo is from this morning when he was showing interest in his neighbors food. Keep praying Keep donating Thanks for the love and support 🙏🏻 #horsesofgili #lombokhorse #horsesofasia #rescuehorse #rescuepony #ilovehorses #makeadifference #donatenow #horsesofinstagram #rescuehorse #rescuepony #horserescue #ponyrescue #horsecharity #indonesia #giliislands #giliTrawangan #oneponyatatime https://www.paypal.me/horsesofgili https://gofund.me/afb3daa2 https://www.patreon.com/horses_of_gili https://cash.app/$horsesofgili (NIB ) : 2706220052431 KBLI : Yayasan RUMAH KUDA GILI - Indonesian not for profit foundation
