  • More of our little helper! Here she is learning to clean the feet with diluted chlorhexiderm to prevent thrush. We are so thankful to all of our volunteers who help us each and every day caring for these lovely creatures we call horses! ❤️ #horsesofgili #lombokhorse #horsesofasia #rescuehorse #rescuepony #ilovehorses #makeadifference #donatenow #horsesofinstagram #rescuehorse #rescuepony #horserescue #ponyrescue #horsecharity #indonesia #gili islands #gilitrawangan #oneponyatatime https://www.paypal.me/horsesofgili
  • So recently we have gained quite a few new followers on both Facebook and Instagram...welcome to all of you! My name is Tori and I founded Horses of Gili in 2015. At that time our primary mission was education of locals, basic medical care between free clinics, and assistance at twice annual clinics including record keeping. Since then we have had lots of things happen. This includes us rescuing many horses from slaughter or abuse, feeding and caring for hundreds of horses after the 2018 earthquakes, and now feeding over 250 unemployed working horses due to covid 19. We also have rescued 7 horses/ponies since the start of the pandemic, have put together a free horsemanship program, are offering basic riding lessons for locals, provide any needed medical care, and have been able to help feed 250 plus horses across 5 islands since April of 2020. We operate 100% on donations (especially now as myself and all of our volunteers also are currently unemployed due to covid) we distribute approximately 20 tons of feed each month to Gili Air (50 horses), Gili Meno (55 horses), Gili Trawangan (140 horses), Java (6 horses), and Lombok (3 horses). Feed costs us 2,500,000 IDR per ton so this amount of food means we are spending approximately 50,000,000 IDR (roughly $3,500 usd or $4,800 AUD) EVERY SINGLE MONTH FOR 7 months so far! And this isn’t over! Our islands are 100% tourism dependent and since motorized vehicles are not allowed they are dependent upon working horses and ponies! We need everyone’s help now more than ever to continue our work! Please consider donating to us for Christmas or just because you love horses! There are many ways to support us: you can donate via any of the links below, join Patreon and sponsor a horse or pony monthly, buy artwork, participate in our ongoing art auctions, buy t shirts or clothing in our online shop, or simply share this post! Thank you in advance! https://www.paypal.me/horsesofgili https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-feed-gili-island-horses-in-covid19 https://www.patreon.com/horses_of_gili https://teespring.com/stores/horses-of-gili
  • Early this morning another 5 tons of feed arrived on Gili Trawangan. And, of course it is quickly being distributed amongst the 130 plus horses still on this island. #horsesofgili #horsesofasia #horserescue #ponyrescue #horsecharity #indonesia #covid19 #oneponyatatime #donatenow www.paypal.me/horsesofgili
  • Guess what we got today! I tiny pony saddle for Amy! @iggyamy I think Yang Yang was a bit excited! ❤️ #horsesofgili #pony #kidsandponies #iloveponies #myheartisfull #gilitrawangan #covid19indonesia #ponyrescue #horserescue #oneponyatatime
  • So sorry for no post yesterday but I dropped my phone in the ocean! So I am using a temporary phone but it took me this long to get back into the Instagram account 😂 So these two guys came in today, they stay at the same stables and both are off their feed and have loose stools. We discussed husbandry, gave them some probiotics, and a vitamin injection. Also discussed adding a bit of salt to their food and increasing the amount of fresh water that they are offered. Both horses were fairly normal on exam so thankfully I dont think it's anything serious. #horsesofgili #gilitrawangan #rescuepony #rescuehorse #horsesofinstagram #oneponyatatime #makingadifference #islandlife #horse #pony
  • We had some special visitors at the stables tonight! @krasivchik_ksusha & @krasivchik.ksusha_ @igorwinogradowww dropped by to bring the horses some carrots, let their daughter meet @iggyamy and also kindly gave a donation for the ponies feed ❤️❤️❤️ If you are ever on Gili Trawangan feel free to stop by! We are at the charity stables every afternoon at 4 pm! #horsesofgili #lombokhorse #horsesofasia #rescuehorse #rescuepony #ilovehorses #makeadifference #donatenow #horsesofinstagram #rescuehorse #rescuepony #horserescue #ponyrescue #horsecharity #indonesia #gili islands #gilitrawangan #oneponyatatime https://www.paypal.me/horsesofgili
  • Each afternoon we do some sort of work with the rescue horses. They are all groomed, feet cleaned, given any needed treatments and then some sort of training or exercises are done. Today we worked on some basic groundwork which helps the horses to learn trust in humans and teaches handlers more about how to communicate with these beautiful souls. ❤️🙏🏻 When Gingin first started this a month ago he couldn’t step over the logs because he was too weak and had some neurological issues. Now he can navigate easily with all four feet! Xena also has some issues especially with her left rear and sometimes she still “hops” instead of using each leg independently. As they progress it helps them to learn to trust humans again and builds up core strength and muscles needed for their health. #horsesofgili #lombokhorse #horsesofasia #rescuehorse #rescuepony #ilovehorses #makeadifference #donatenow #horsesofinstagram #rescuehorse #rescuepony #horserescue #ponyrescue #horsecharity #indonesia #gili islands #gilitrawangan #oneponyatatime
  • And this is the last of the feed purchased with the great donations we just got! This is 5 tons to Trawangan. Rice powder costs 2,500,00 IDR per ton delivered. This means for the 9 tons we just distributed in the last 3 days we spent 22,500,000 IDR. This is equal to roughly 2,187 AUD or $1,600 USD. Each 9 tons lasts 2 to 3 weeks. So yea this entire covid thing is turning out to be pretty darned expensive! But it’s ok I have complete faith that together we will persevere and see this through to the end! The ponies are counting on us! ❤️ #horsesofgili #lombokhorse #horsesofasia #rescuehorse #rescuepony #ilovehorses #makeadifference #donatenow #horsesofinstagram #rescuehorse #rescuepony #horserescue #ponyrescue #horsecharity #indonesia #gili islands #gilitrawangan #oneponyatatime https://www.paypal.me/horsesofgili
  • Today 2 tons of donated feed arrived on Gili Meno. Once again this is only possible thanks to the kind and generous donations of our followers from all over the world! ❤️🙏🏻 #horsesofgili #lombokhorse #horsesofasia #rescuehorse #rescuepony #ilovehorses #makeadifference #donatenow #horsesofinstagram #rescuehorse #rescuepony #horserescue #ponyrescue #horsecharity #indonesia #gili islands #gilitrawangan #oneponyatatime https://www.paypal.me/horsesofgili
  • Beach day for all the rescue ponies! ❤️❤️❤️ #horsesofgili #lombokhorse #horsesofasia #rescuehorse #rescuepony #ilovehorses #makeadifference #donatenow #horsesofinstagram #rescuehorse #rescuepony #horserescue #ponyrescue #horsecharity #indonesia #gili islands #gilitrawangan #oneponyatatime https://www.paypal.me/horsesofgili
  • This is 2 tons of feed being distributed today on the island of Gili Air. Tomorrow 5 tons will go to Gili Trawangan and the next day 2 tons to Gili Meno! All made possible by the amazing donations from everyone! Thank you so much! #horsesofgili #lombokhorse #horsesofasia #rescuehorse #rescuepony #ilovehorses #makeadifference #donatenow #horsesofinstagram #rescuehorse #rescuepony #horserescue #ponyrescue #horsecharity #indonesia #gili islands #gilitrawangan #oneponyatatime https://www.paypal.me/horsesofgili
  • This is how many horse carts it takes to distribute 5 tons of feed! This is the horses snd ponies who have picked up their share of feed here on Gili Trawangan in the past week. Tomorrow 2 tons will be delivered to Gili Air and the next day 2 tons to Gili Meno. All for FREE because the local drivers and owners are mostly unemployed due to covid and they still must feed their human families. Many thanks to the recent donations that have made this continued effort possible! As of November 15th we have been distributing approximately 20 tons of feed per month, across the 3 Gili Islands for SEVEN MONTHS! I am humbled by those of you who donate and care enough to help these humans and animals in a country not your own. Your kindness and generosity gives me a reason to get up and try harder every single day. ❤️🙏🏻 #horsesofgili #lombokhorse #horsesofasia #rescuehorse #rescuepony #ilovehorses #makeadifference #donatenow #horsesofinstagram #rescuehorse #rescuepony #horserescue #ponyrescue #horsecharity #indonesia #gili islands #gilitrawangan #oneponyatatime https://www.paypal.me/horsesofgili
  • I know we haven’t updated about Cinta and Ayu in a week or so. This was because we were going through some troubling times with their owners. Cinta is a young mare, maybe 5 to 6 years. Despite this, Ayu is her second or third goal already and Cinta shows signs of also having worked very hard in the past. And, of course when we talked the owners into letting us foster them a couple of months ago Cinta was in very poor body condition. After spending considerable time with her it was clear that Cinta had had a hard life and deserved so much more. So early on we offered to purchase both of them but the owners refused. And to make things more confusing it was never clear who actually owned Cinta....there is a son, a daughter, and a father...all said they were owners. After several confusing weeks they had made it clear to us that they didn’t want to sell. Then suddenly 3 days ago they came and simply took them home! We were heartbroken but there is no legal recourse so we discussed doing periodic checks and continuing to provide feed and fresh water. But guess what!!! Today they agreed to sell both of them to us! So Cinta can retire and Ayu can grow up in a good environment and hopefully be placed in a riding home in the future! No more pulling a heavy cart for poor Cinta. We will place a deposit on them tomorrow and bring them HOME! ❤️😍 If you want to donate towards their care/purchase please use our PayPal and note Cinta/Ayu #horsesofgili #lombokhorse #horsesofasia #rescuehorse #rescuepony #ilovehorses #makeadifference #donatenow #horsesofinstagram #rescuehorse #rescuepony #horserescue #ponyrescue #horsecharity #indonesia #gili islands #gilitrawangan #oneponyatatime https://www.paypal.me/horsesofgili
  • ❤️ We love our volunteers! And this Angel LOVES Iggy and Amy! Remember it is your donations that continue to make all of this possibke! From providing supplemental feed during covid, to horsemanship and education! We strive to do our best for each and every horse and pony we meet! ❤️ #horsesofgili #lombokhorse #horsesofasia #rescuehorse #rescuepony #ilovehorses #makeadifference #donatenow #horsesofinstagram #rescuehorse #rescuepony #horserescue #ponyrescue #horsecharity #indonesia #gili islands #gilitrawangan #oneponyatatime https://www.paypal.me/horsesofgili
  • Xena and Gingin appear to be having a conversation before today’s lessons. What do you suppose they are saying to each other? #horsesofgili #lombokhorse #horsesofasia #rescuehorse #rescuepony #ilovehorses #makeadifference #donatenow #horsesofinstagram #rescuehorse #rescuepony #horserescue #ponyrescue #horsecharity #indonesia #gili islands #gilitrawangan #oneponyatatime https://www.paypal.me/horsesofgili
  • This is 10 or so of the 55 horses remaining on the island of Gili Air. It’s been nearly 3 weeks since we have been able to send feed to them because our funds have run out. Can you help us continue to care for these animals? Their owners are unemployed (or earning next to nothing) due to a complete lack of tourism from the covid-19 pandemic. #horsesofgili #lombokhorse #horsesofasia #rescuehorse #rescuepony #ilovehorses #makeadifference #donatenow #horsesofinstagram #rescuehorse #rescuepony #horserescue #ponyrescue #horsecharity #indonesia #gili islands #gilitrawangan #oneponyatatime https://www.paypal.me/horsesofgili https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-feed-gili-island-horses-in-covid19?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=p_cf+share-flow-1 https://horsesofgili.give.asia/campaign/support-the-horses-of-the-gili-islands-during-covid-19#/ https://www.patreon.com/horses_of_gili https://teespring.com/stores/horses-of-gili
  • Each day all horses or ponies that we care for directly are groomed, hooves cleaned, exercised, and handled (+/- groundwork or training). We want them to live the happiest and most comfortable lives possible plus doing this daily gives us a valuable opportunity to set an example for others in regards to horsemanship and husbandry. #horsesofgili #lombokhorse #horsesofasia #rescuehorse #rescuepony #ilovehorses #makeadifference #donatenow #horsesofinstagram #rescuehorse #rescuepony #horserescue #ponyrescue #horsecharity #indonesia #gili islands #gilitrawangan #oneponyatatime https://www.paypal.me/horsesofgili
  • The year of 2020 has been life changing for all of us. Especially in locations such as ours that are entirely tourism dependent, we have really seen the community affected which means also the working horses and ponies of the Gili Islands. We have been helping to support over 250 unemployed working horses and ponies since April of this year. This means distributing for free, upwards of 40 tons of feed across 3 islands each month! We are 100% donation based and there are many ways to support us. You can buy shirts, hoodies, or tank tops in our online Teespring store. We get 75% of that money straight to the horses. You can join us on Patreon and sponsor a horse or pony with a monthly donation (and get free stuff!). You can purchase chances to win a custom pet portrait (see pinned post on Facebook) OR order your own personalized pet portrait with prices starting at $80 per portrait plus shipping. You can donate to Go Fund Me or Give Asia or direct to our PayPal. You can share our page with other horse loving friends to help increase our exposure. Christmas is coming soon please consider a gift that makes a difference! ❤️🙏🏻 #horsesofgili #lombokhorse #horsesofasia #rescuehorse #rescuepony #ilovehorses #makeadifference #donatenow #horsesofinstagram #rescuehorse #rescuepony #horserescue #ponyrescue #horsecharity #indonesia #giliislands #gilitrawangan #oneponyatatime https://www.paypal.me/horsesofgili https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-feed-gili-island-horses-in-covid19?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=p_cf+share-flow-1 https://horsesofgili.give.asia/campaign/support-the-horses-of-the-gili-islands-during-covid-19#/ https://www.patreon.com/horses_of_gili https://teespring.com/stores/horses-of-gili
  • Beautiful Gingin working on becoming a fit and healthy pony! #horsesofgili #lombokhorse #horsesofasia #rescuehorse #rescuepony #ilovehorses #makeadifference #donatenow #horsesofinstagram #rescuehorse #rescuepony #horserescue #ponyrescue #horsecharity #indonesia #giliislands #gilitrawangan #oneponyatatime https://www.paypal.me/horsesofgili
  • Beautiful Cinta is slowly learning how to accept kindness. She is a very fearful mare and will bite or kick if she feels the slightest bit trapped or cornered. Through daily handling, positive reinforcement, and consistency we hope to win her over. ❤️ #horsesofgili #lombokhorse #horsesofasia #rescuehorse #rescuepony #ilovehorses #makeadifference #donatenow #horsesofinstagram #rescuehorse #rescuepony #horserescue #ponyrescue #horsecharity #indonesia #giliislands #gilitrawangan #oneponyatatime https://www.paypal.me/horsesofgili
