The cheerful and carefree Talizmán experienced an odyssey at the beginning of his life that is hard to imagine. Born in Hungary, he was kept in undignified conditions. Filthy stables, hardly any food or care. An animal lover found him and pulled out all the stops to free him. She brought him to Germany with the plan that Talizmán would become a school horse. Intensive training was therefore on the agenda. He participated enthusiastically, but started to go lame after two months. The vet diagnosed inflammation of the hoof rollers and he was therefore unrideable. The riding school asked us for help because they wanted to end his odyssey here.
