Tack for Iraq - the Iraqi National Herd

...Of the original Herd of 100+ Horses in the Iraqi National Herd of Arabian Horses, only 19 remain, the rest having been killed during the bombing of Baghdad when their Facility was struck by a Tomahawk cruise missile. Along with the Horses, the National Herd also lost every piece of equipment and tack necessary to care for these Horses properly. They still have no equipment, as the Human and Infrastructural needs of the Country at this juncture outweigh the needs of the Horses and their caretakers. Yet, regards the Human Need, literally every Humanitarian organization in the Free World is there to help and are doing so and the Human infrastructure is being re-built.
