Horses used for tourist rides in Egypt face a grim reality of abuse and neglect, with many being abandoned or killed in inhumane ways. Common practices include dumping horses in the desert or in piles of rubbish, and injecting petrol into their veins, a process that can take up to three days to kill them.
Now, a coalition of top equestrians is stepping in to rescue these animals. The initiative aims to provide a better future for these horses, offering them care and a chance at a life free from suffering. The efforts are focused on addressing the systemic issues that lead to such widespread mistreatment within the tourist industry.
