I think they'd have more luck getting folks to donate if they had more pics, perhaps videos etc... names of the remaining five horses, etc...
I agree. I've checked this site on and off for a few years and the only thing I've seen change is the newsletter. . . there are pictures and videos, but you have to do a bit of digging to get to them.
I think they'd get a lot more traffic and a better reputation if they hired someone to update and organize their site more effectively.
If they cared about the horses so much, perhaps a band of farmers can set aside a farm just for them, get them back on track and repopulate as necessary. OR find a private breeder in the US that can take on this project....it has been done successfully like the Paso Finos.
Too many pictures of horses, cropped and paste, like that running overo......to pretty up the website. I am not interested in looking at vegetations and plants. It needs to sell better, with better photos, names of horses (I saw a few horses that has MORE than five horse running around).
You do raise a good question about the validity, something I've thought about since I found the site. I was suspicious until I read a range of other sources that complimented the info on the website and their cause. They need to showcase more on their website, and make it easy to find.
They do have a preserve and farm for the horses. If they didn't, they would have been dead long ago. I think overall they want to keep the horses in their native habitat, not import them off-site, as they try not to handle them too much, but I don't know
As for the pictures of more than five horses. . . there used to be way more than five and I guess they still wanted to show the horses that had died.
imagine how cool it would be to have "BackyardDoDos.com"
If they were more addicting than chickens, the world would be in trouble! There is barely enough room for the chickens and ducks!
