Miranda's Foundation facilitate horses’ life in herd and freedom, in a large natural area. We support them in the process of returning to be free, health and confidence horses and to recover its balance and its physic, emotional and mental health, in contact with natural environment with herd.
We open areas which were forbidden in the last decade by humans. Horses restore balance in nature grazing with their presence.
This pusher us to attract Pottoka’s ponies 4 years ago coming from a confinement and scarcity from a closed down zoo, in order to giv them a fulfilled life as a horse. Freedom, which for misfortune was cut for pony Riba. Riba was shot down by a shoot hunter a year ago. That happened in front of a horrified gaze of a couple and a cyclist who were going for a walk in the area, they were admiring the flawless presence of Riba and her sisters.
This incident caused a lot of noise at the beginning, however monthspast and today we deal the same difficulties, and an issue hasn’t been solved: safety and convivence in natural areas.
Confronting many points of view and interpretations of the reality and holding a hard diversity, we know that we must get along with, even we couldn’t be able to kill a fly. Finding out socio-political power of sector of venery and a hunter who by accident murders breaking all the security rules, withdrawing licence for five years (limit of punishment). Does it seem too much for a reoffender?
This is a deal for us and a complicated and fragile exercise to communicate empathising considering the deepness of our wound that we are holding because of what happened. Leaving away ego and “having reasoning” to be efficiently and getting indispensable changes, which are coming very slowly.
In our journey with administrations, game reserve and obsolete laws about it, we are accompanied by Riba’s strength and her herd!
Always with us
