Between Saturday night and Sunday morning this weekend the Friends of the Earth Foundation to rescue this horse that is in poor condition, had five in the afternoon of Saturday, the Inspector Norman Foundation Garavito received a call from a woman desperate for a horse as she was on the CAI The Viceroy, was seven-thirty was located at last the horse through various animal advocates who heard the case and managed to find the spot where stood the horse was CAI Estadero actually.

In a telephone conversation with the Commander of the CAI, the achievement that the horse was not returned to the road and asked the Lord Lieutenant to lift the Act of seizure while we could establish a presence, we must bear in mind that on a Saturday at that time the Association Animal Defender which is accredited to handle the custody of the horses is no longer open, and that the Mayor of Bogota gives no weight to the benefit of road horses.

On Sunday at eight in the morning the Friends of the Earth Foundation was present at the CAI Estadero with the Ecological Police Auxiliary, the picture of the animal was shocking for its low stature and a body state of 2 on a scale where the maximum is nine. The age is over ten years, has almost no teeth and skin covered the bones showed multiple scars that speak of a life of suffering, something that shocked us was the gentleness of the animal's nose grateful approached us looking for a caress .

Finally we walked slowly the seven miles that separated us from ADA, allowing time for the horse to eat grass along the road, when we reached our destination was comforting to observe the animal was glad to find a wide stall with plenty of grass and water.
