In Zimbabwe white farmers are forced off their land, having to flee leaving almost everything behind – including their animals. As the Retzlaff family move across the country they take on many of the horses that distraught farmers ask them to care for till in the end they have over 300 – yet they can only save 104. Mandy Retzlaff’s extraordinary story of compassion for animals against a background of political uprising and ferment is a story of terrible loss but also incredible gain as the horses they care for become their passion – and salvation.
