An all-encompassing approach to Equine Wellness requires a deeper understanding of not only horses, but of all situations in which we as humans fall short in our interactions with them, and learning how to correct this.
Our Story
Founded by Zoha Jung Nambiar in 2018, The Backwater Sanctuary is a non profit committed to the successful rehabilitation of horses, ponies & donkeys suffering from abandonment, abuse or neglect, and providing them a safe home for retirement.
Through the Sanctuary and with the help of our rescues, we hope to increase awareness of the level of abuse of equines in India.
