From discovering skeletons of horses that died still tied to their posts, to horses being beaten, suffering rope burns, fractures and neglect, Rowan Elliott, Sarah Jones and Siobhan Mikaere have seen it all. “We’re absolutely mortified at the degree of
equine neglect around the Bay of Plenty,” says Rowan. The RRR Rescue - short for rescue, revive and rehome - that Rowan and Siobhan run with the help of volunteers, has expanded with the launch of RRR Rescue Equine just before Christmas.
The equine team is now caring for 46 horses and miniature ponies and four donkeys. Pictured is Rowan and Tru the donkey getting
acquainted at a paddock at RRR Rescue. Read the full story on page 5.
