Gili Islands is home to the long suffering and poorly treated carriage ponies-YES they capture ponies from neighboring islands and put them to work sometimes up to eighteen hours a day. They are emaciated, have little rest, drink salt water and have no medical care. They have no pasture in which to graze and they are always hitched up to a carriage. They live a miserable existence because their owners do not know how to care for them. The ponies are moneymakers, worked to the bone and then slaughtered and replaced when they cannot pull any more. They were once wild horses that were captured and now brought to the Gili Islands to begin their life of slavery. They ARE clearly ponies because of their small size, which ranges from 11-14 hands

A Determined Era The American West was full of grit, workers with sweat on their brows, and determination in their hearts.

Between the years of 1800 to 1870, Americans embraced this lifestyle with full force, and were ready to face any obstacles that stood in their way.

The horse (Equus ferus caballus)[2][3] is one of two extant subspecies of Equus ferus. It is an odd-toed ungulate mammal belonging to the taxonomic family Equidae. The horse has evolved over the past 45 to 55 million years from a small multi-toed creature, Eohippus, into the large, single-toed animal of today. Humans began to domesticate horses around 4000 BC, and their domestication is believed to have been widespread by 3000 BC. Horses in the subspecies caballus are domesticated, although some domesticated populations live in the wild as feral horses. These feral populations are not true wild horses, as this term is used to describe horses that have never been domesticated, such as the endangered Przewalski's horse, a separate subspecies, and the only remaining true wild horse. There is an extensive, specialized vocabulary used to describe equine-related concepts, covering everything from anatomy to life stages, size, colors, markings, breeds, locomotion, and behavior.
