The February issue of Equus, one of the leading horse magazines in the U.S., has a very nice back page story about the sanctuary. That’s what the cover of the February edition looks like above. We did the interview for the article a few months ago, and sent the magazine photos they could choose from to illustrate the story. They used one of Alayne and me with blind Nikki (it’s one of our favorite photos).
Our biggest challenge is convincing the average "horse person" that blind horses can have a wonderful quality of life, so we are delighted to reach Equus readers with this message.
Ironically, the reporter first called to interview us about the subject of the cover story — ERU, or equine recurrent uveitis, which is the leading cause of blindness in horses. After talking with us, the reporter decided to do the back page feature on the ranch instead of working us into the ERU story … which was the better deal!
Here’s what the story looks like:
You can find Equus at the usual book stores like Barnes & Noble and Borders, as well as at equine-related retail outfits. Unfortunately Equus does not publish its content online. But if you click on the photo of the article for the larger image, you may actually be able to read it okay.
