God bless those who save the horses. Their names at last.
The video answers why we are with horses – they make us better, stronger, bigger then ourselves could be without them.
This was sent to me in 2006 as a file—-I have no idea who the creator was but it is the first edit. I take no credit for photography or music or any content but it is priceless and inspiring. For almost 2 years I have tried to find out the horsewomen’s names. Finally I have.
The 6 women (ages 19-40)who rode that day were honored by their government for their bravery and courage for riding into frigid flood waters that had hidden ditches, strewn with broken fencing and other hazards. The waters were due to rise with the next storm.
The horses caught by a sudden storm were weakening and many were showing signs of giving up. The nature of the horse herd kept them from trying to save themselves.
For three days the media broadcasted the unsucessful attempts to rescue them. Then a posting appeared on the friesian horses forum, by Micky Nijboer: “horses and riders sought…..Only experienced riders with horses without fear of water” could try the idea of leading them off the small mound of land. They would meet the next day and the video is what they accomplished by risking themselves and their horses.
I recently found out
the women’ and horses’ names
Susan Fransen riding Blizzard,
Micky Nijboer riding Berber,
Antje Dijkstra riding Humphrey,
Hinke Lap riding Guinever,
Christina Stormer riding Perfeft and
Fardow de Rueter riding King.
Fardow de Ruiter was 33 at the time of the rescue. She rode her horse King, the Paint Stallion. Her guest book can be found at http://www.tboek.nl/gastenboek/colouredstable
