Balsam
Creole · Born 2010
Nursed back to health over two years, Balsam is now a gentle mount for children and beginners.

Rescued in poor condition, Polar's coat grew back white; he'd never even been washed or brushed.
I'm POLAR. I was born in 2011 and I am Iberian. When Caribe Horse rescued me, my hair had a different color, because the pure condition in which I live, which never made me discover what it means to receive care or even to be washed and brushed… It was yellow when I arrived at Caribe Horae. and not even a good shower could help me, but my new family knows that after a time of correct care, I will change my hair and discover my true white color… that's why my name is now Polar!!
He also wasn't used to horse food. I found my own nutrition in trash, bins, or whatever was in my small, dark house. So when I was first introduced to real horse food, I wondered what it was and stuck with hay since it seemed more common than what I knew. In my past I lived very isolated and, first of all, I couldn't communicate with the other horses in the stable. Also trotting and galloping was completely new to me.
After my recovery I started to have a lot of friends, play with them, I discovered the sea and I am an incredible swimmer, I really enjoy swimming in the ocean and blowing bubbles underwater…one of my favorite games is rolling in the sand and really I enjoy taking a nap on the beach. I am super sweet but sometimes I still have some trouble understanding the other horses and if there is something new, sometimes I need a little more time to understand it.

Every horse in our care needs ongoing feed, veterinary treatment and rehabilitation. Choose an amount to help Polar directly and see how many days of care it covers.
