Horses of Gili

Saving one pony at a time

  • Here at Horses of Gili we are blessed right now with some amazing volunteers (thanks Covid it’s the only good thing about you). These volunteers come every day, rain or shine snd do all manner of work from mucking stalls, to treating wounds and everything in between. In return they get to ride on occasions and sometimes they get to play in the sea with the rescued snd rehabilitated ponies who are learning what love is. ❤️ #horsesofgili #lombokhorse #horsesofasia #rescuehorse #rescuepony #ilovehorses #makeadifference #donatenow #horsesofinstagram #rescuehorse #rescuepony #horserescue #ponyrescue #horsecharity #indonesia #giliislands #gilitrawangan #oneponyatatime https://www.paypal.me/horsesofgili
  • When you run a rescue or volunteer at a rescue (or work in a vet clinic) you often get what is called “compassion fatigue” this means that you can be so overwhelmed when dealing with sick, injured, starving, dying animals that you can actually become physically or mentally ill. Attached is an excerpt from a veterinary technician manual describing the various signs which include insomnia, irritability, anxiety, depression, even eating disorders. And to top it off in a rescue we also must constantly worry about how we are going to pay for the food, the medications, the property, the electricity etc etc. And so we ask for donations....but it trickles down you see? Because if we ask for donations too much people get “donor fatigue” and they tune us out, or they assume others are making donations, or they miss the posts. Ideally our posts are educational, entertaining, and lastly appeals for help. It’s hard to balance all of these spinning plates especially when you put the entire world into a situation such as the pandemic we are facing now. It’s hard, we are tired, the numbers of horses in need is overwhelming, the numbers in our care are growing increasingly higher...now, more than ever we need help. We haven’t had a donation to our Go Fund Me in 1 month! Yes we have some monthly donations coming in via PayPal and Patreon, but right now it’s not enough. We having to ration the feed and horses are getting skinny again....we need donations! Even $5 buys a weeks worth of grass for one pony, $25 buys 70kg of rice powder. $100 feeds one pony for an entire month! Together we can all make it through these times but only as a team, supporting each other and helping others to support animals in need. I know many of you donate monthly and we thank you! But we have many new followers! We challenge them to help us out even with small donations! If 500 people donated $5 each we would have $2500! That’s nearly enough to feed all 3 islands for a month! So what are you waiting for? 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
  • Anyone ever have that one child? You know the totally adorable, but completely naughty one? That’s our Rebel! 😂 Today he got his own little “mini paddock” so that he can no longer terrorize all the big horses! In the next week or so hopefully we can get him castrated and that should help settle him down some. He is getting plenty of exercise and proper care, but omg he is a handful. He is 8 hands and it literally takes 2 adults to walk him anywhere 🤦‍♀️ #horsesofgili #lombokhorse #horsesofasia #rescuehorse #rescuepony #ilovehorses #makeadifference #donatenow #horsesofinstagram #rescuehorse #rescuepony #horserescue #ponyrescue #horsecharity #indonesia #giliislands #gilitrawangan #oneponyatatime
  • About a week ago our youngest volunteer (who can be quite eager and doesn’t always watch where she is going 🤣), attempted to walk on fire! Needless to say this did not end so well but Bagus our staff quickly grabbed her and all of our volunteers immediately put her foot in ice water. She has been on antibiotics and getting daily treatments. She has been very brave and said that we are treating her foot “just like Magic except no shots”. This is a short video made by her mom @vivianyanlei to show her progress ❤️🥰 and yes she is fine and nearly healed! If you want to wish her well please comment and I will read all the comments to her! #horsesofgili #lombokhorse #horsesofasia #rescuehorse #rescuepony #ilovehorses #makeadifference #donatenow #horsesofinstagram #rescuehorse #rescuepony #horserescue #ponyrescue #horsecharity #indonesia #giliislands #gilitrawangan #oneponyatatime #volunteer #children #thenextgeneration #welovekids
  • So late yesterday evening we were contacted by the person helping us to care for the badly injured horse on Gili Meno. (Which at that time the owner wouldn’t allow us to bring to Trawangan for hospitalization) we knew that aftercare would be very difficult but sadly it just didn’t work out. The owner was gone from the home yesterday so the person caring for the horse couldn’t get the antibiotics, and the horses wound was open and bleeding with signs of infection. We reached out once again to offer hospitalization (for free) but it was declined. So we did what we thought was best for this horse and we purchased him. Otherwise he would suffer with a bad infection or be used for meat. So welcome to Hero! He got here safely and got his wound all cleaned up and a special tie over bandage placed. Plus he was dewormed and his antibiotics were changed. He seems quite happy now and we will keep you posted on his progress. In the meantime who wants to sponsor him?? You can have your very own Indonesian crossbred horse complete with a wounded rear for the low low monthly price of $80 or the yearly bargain of $850! Best investment you can make for 2021 and the future of Hero!! Of course even $5 will help us to buy grass for him! #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
  • Ok updates: Magic - doing good. Rebel - insane 😂. New property - halfway fenced Varsha, Jara, Xena. Cinta, & Ayu - all excellent Iggy and Amy - terrific. Misty - happy, might or might not be pregnant. Gingin - healthy and happy. Injured horse on Gili Meno - possible wound break down +/- infection. It seems our instructions were not followed. Will have more information shortly. We are a bit busy and overwhelmed and are extremely thankful for all support and donations. ❤️🙏🏻 #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
  • This is the injured horse we treated on emergency on Gili Meno 3 days ago. He is doing well and had the drain removed today. The wound still has a ways to go and we pray that the sutures don’t break down but so far so good! #horsesofgili #lombokhorse #horsesofasia #rescuehorse #rescuepony #ilovehorses #makeadifference #donatenow #horsesofinstagram #rescuehorse #rescuepony #horserescue #ponyrescue #horsecharity #indonesia #giliislands #gilitrawangan #oneponyatatime https://www.paypal.me/horsesofgili
  • It’s been so crazy busy around here that we haven’t been posting our normal feed updates. Currently we are buying 5 tons of feed for Gili Trawangan every 2 weeks, and 4 to 5 tons for Gili Meno and Gili Air which is once monthly. We also managed to raise enough funds to replenish our stock of medications in case there is another emergency. And....the new property is coming along nicely! So all is going well but please remember that due to the pandemic our expenditures are astronomically high and we are always in need of extra cash. We have to order more feed this week and the balance is due on the yearly lease on our current property. So please consider donating or please share to your friends to help support our work. 🙏🏻❤️ #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
  • Pony madness! Iggy and Amy having a terrific time playing this afternoon in the paddock. Misty wasn’t that enthusiastic 😂 #horsesofgili #lombokhorse #horsesofasia #rescuehorse #rescuepony #ilovehorses #makeadifference #donatenow #horsesofinstagram #rescuehorse #rescuepony #horserescue #ponyrescue #horsecharity #indonesia #giliislands #gilitrawangan #oneponyatatime https://www.paypal.me/horsesofgili
  • Magic today! He is doing really well! The wounds on his front legs are granulating in and he acts so much more comfortable. He is happy snd as active as we allow him to be. Fingers crossed that he continues to improve! #horsesofgili #lombokhorse #horsesofasia #rescuehorse #rescuepony #ilovehorses #makeadifference #donatenow #horsesofinstagram #rescuehorse #rescuepony #horserescue #ponyrescue #horsecharity #indonesia #giliislands #gilitrawangan #oneponyatatime https://www.paypal.me/horsesofgili
  • What a busy day! Got a message this morning in Bahasa Indonesian that I didn’t quite understand. It translated to something about sewing. Further investigation found that a pony had been in a Cidomo accident on the neighboring island of Gili Meno. They were not willing to bring the pony here and the injury was clearly quite severe. So I contacted our volunteers, assembled supplies, and off we went! Thankfully despite being a deep and nasty wound it appears no vital structures were injured and we were able to put the pony back together again. But we now have run completely out of injectable medications to enable us to deal with these sort of emergencies. We can purchase them within the country but they aren’t cheap. So we are reaching out to see if we can get about $300 to $400 donated as that will enable us to purchase enough to replenish our stock. And hopefully in the meantime no more ponies get severe injuries such as this! We will keep you posted on how he does! #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
  • Magic update! If you recall Magic came to us December 18th from Gili Meno after a suspected accident in a horsecart. He was extremely lame and painful and at that time spent the majority of his time lying down; only getting up to eat and drink. Since then he has been getting the royal treatment here including a mattress, deep bedding, massages, daily pain medications, treatment of his pressure sores and anything else needed. A few days ago his most lame leg (left fore) began to swell and it has now opened up and is sloughing tissue off. We can only guess that this is from the initial injury as he has never had any fever or stopped eating. But now that it’s opened up he is much less lame and much brighter. He has been placed on antibiotics to be safe and his leg is being treated with saline washes and manuka honey. Plus his usual care and anti inflammatories. I placed the photos of his leg a bit deeper in case you are squeamish. He seems to love getting attention from all the ladies however and is a really sweet pony. #horsesofgili #lombokhorse #horsesofasia #rescuehorse #rescuepony #ilovehorses #makeadifference #donatenow #horsesofinstagram #rescuehorse #rescuepony #horserescue #ponyrescue #horsecharity #indonesia #giliislands #gilitrawangan #oneponyatatime
  • Gingin from August 5 to today. This is exactly what rescue is all about ❤️ #horsesofgili #lombokhorse #horsesofasia #rescuehorse #rescuepony #ilovehorses #makeadifference #donatenow #horsesofinstagram #rescuehorse #rescuepony #horserescue #ponyrescue #horsecharity #indonesia #giliislands #gilitrawangan #oneponyatatime https://www.paypal.me/horsesofgili
  • Meet the newest little pony to join our rescue stables! This is a 5 year old buckskin and white pinto girl! She stands about 105cm tall and she is PREGNANT! Sadly her owner could no longer care for her after losing his job to Covid and we didn’t want her to end up at the auction with an uncertain future. She needs a sponsor (and a name!) wouldn’t it be awesome to have your own pony and get to name her?? Her yearly sponsorship is $600 usd either direct to our PayPal or monthly for $50 on our Patreon ❤️ #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
  • Just another fantastic video by our volunteer @vivianyanlei of a day in the life here at Horses of Gili. We have an amazing group of volunteers right now helping us out every day to provide the best possible care to the horses and ponies❤️ #horsesofgili #lombokhorse #horsesofasia #rescuehorse #rescuepony #ilovehorses #makeadifference #donatenow #horsesofinstagram #rescuehorse #rescuepony #horserescue #ponyrescue #horsecharity #indonesia #giliislands #gilitrawangan #oneponyatatime https://www.paypal.me/horsesofgili

  • OMG! OMG! We did it! We have been trying for 2 years to lease the property next to us to use as a training and exercise paddock....and we DID IT! It’s 9 are which is the size of our current land and directly next door so it’s super convenient. It’s a bit of a jungle right now but it’s going to be so awesome! #horsesofgili #lombokhorse #horsesofasia #rescuehorse #rescuepony #ilovehorses #makeadifference #donatenow #horsesofinstagram #rescuehorse #rescuepony #horserescue #ponyrescue #horsecharity #indonesia #giliislands #gilitrawangan #oneponyatatime https://www.paypal.me/horsesofgili
  • This beautiful mare is Jara. She was our first official “rescue” in 2015. She was pulling a cart in the market in Lombok and extremely skinny. We purchased her and we’re not aware that she was also pregnant! So we also got our lovely Varsha at the same time. It turns out Jara was once a race horse and she is a purebred Sandalwood pony from the island of Sumbawa. Jara doesn’t yet have a sponsor and she would be very grateful for one! Would you like to be her sponsor? You can join our Patreon and pay monthly or make a one time donation via PayPal or Go Fund Me of $850. See links below and thank you for the continued 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://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
