CALAN HORSE SANCTUARY<\/h3>\n

\"CalanHorseSanctuary\"In operation since 2005, the sanctuary is based in Highbury – two hours south east of Perth, Western Australia. The equine residents are a mixture of rescued, retired and unwanted animals.<\/p>\n

Chief guardian, Alan Gent, says “Our challenge has been to alter their flat dull eyes due to neglect and mistreatment, to eyes that are bright and happy, and to give the horse the quality of life it deserves.
\nUpon regaining the brightness and softness in their eyes, we do our utmost to maintain their recovery.
\nWe endeavor to carry out the following:<\/p>\n

1.\u00a0\u00a0 First and foremost the horse should feel safe and secure every day.<\/em><\/p>\n

2.\u00a0\u00a0 To be able to graze freely and enjoy a balanced, formulated natural food product, collated to each individual horse. Upon eating this supplied food the horse is not affected in any way by the pecking order, it eats and digests it’s food in a quiet and peaceful manner.<\/em><\/em><\/p>\n
