This is already a tradition. The horses spend the warm season on the specially selected meadows. The area is fenced and secure. There is no risk something may happen to our horses. They are constantly watched by people. We check the horses every hour. Also at night," says Piotr Szyłogalis Jankowiak from Tara. The process of transferring the horses to pasture is extremely spectacular. Each horse is led by one person. No riding is allowed. You can only have a stroll with a horse. Through the woods, fields and meadows.
Visitors always welcome
"The horses simple can't wait to be put out to pasture. They spend the entire summer season in the lush meadows surrounded by the groves. They will be running, rolling around, lolling about and nibble the grass to their hearts' content. However, the transfer process is quite a challenge on the logistic side. The horses will be transported from Piskorzyna to the Nieszkowice area. Then they are going to have a stroll. A large group of people is always ready to help. "There are always people to give us a hand. We are particularly keen to invite those who share our passion for horses. Tara is open 24/7. We are used to visitors," adds Piotr.
They have been helping for years
Tara has been providing shelter to horses and other livestock for 20 years now. Located in Piskorzyn in the Wińsk area, it operates both as a shelter and a foundation. "We are running a place for abandoned horses which we either buy or receive as a donation. We've been fighting to give back dignity to retired horses, which are no longer needed as farm animals," says Tara's founder Scarlett Szyłogalis. 113 horses live at the shelter at the moment. Goats, cows and sheep and other livestock are also to be found at Tara, which also gives refuge to a large pack of dogs and cats. Animals provided with food, medical treatment and loving care to their dying days. Additionally, Tara steps in whenever animals are animals are abused. "A large number of our horses were literally saved from the slaughterhouse, many of them spent their lives in dark sheds chained to the walls. Our horses are no longer a piece of meat, they are safe and free, and they are surrounded by love and care," says Scarlett.
You, too, can help
Horses at Tara are not eligible for external adoption. They are going to stay at the shelter to their dying days. However, you may adopt a horse online, which is of great help to Tara and a chance for a great adventure for the adopting party. You can also help in other ways. By making a transfer to the foundation's account, joining the team of volunteers at the shelter, by lending a helping hand in cleaning and renovating the stables or by making a non-cash donation.
