How Animal Care in Egypt was started and why Animal Care in Egypt is needed.

Julie Wartenberg and Kim Taylor (our founders) first realized the desperate need for Animal Care in Egypt after seeing the plight of the carriage horses at first hand whilst visiting Egypt on holiday.

The Horse

The animal that tourists come into the closest contact with in Egypt is the carriage horse. Carriages, called caleches in Egypt, are a feature of every tourist destination throughout the country.

These carriages are brightly decorated and are pulled by horses that have descended from animals left behind by the British army. These horses are often ill-shod, malnourished, frequently had badly fitting harnesses and are made to gallop unnecessarily, in the very high temperatures, often up to 50 degrees during Luxor's summer. They stand in full sunshine waiting for customers whilst their drivers smoke in the shade. Their working day ends only when the last tourists return to their hotel. Something had to be done and so the seeds of ACE were sown.
