Each of the equines residing in the ESPI shelter carry heavy stories. 

​

Carmen arrived in ESPI on May 2019 from Kasos, after a report had been made to the authorities. She lived in a DIY municipal "zoo" in terrible conditions, along with other farm animals. After interventions from the law, the animals were removed from the place they were kept in and moved to shelters, where they all enjoyed a fresh start.

​

Carmen came along with Markos, her 10 day old foal. Markos grew up healthy and well and when he came of age, was adopted and now lives in a loving home, giving us immense joy.

​

As the years passed, Carmen started feeling safer. She slowly gave a chance to humans again and started enjoying daily moments of peace.

She now lives in the ESPI shelter with her friend, Kalissi. They share a close bond and being close to each other makes them feel safe and calm.

​

Carmen's life goes on in the shelter, surrounded by love and care. Through ESPI's Sponsorship Program, individuals and companies can contribute to her care and become part of her story.
