Horse
Depending on breed, management and environment, the modern domestic horse has a life expectancy of 25 to 30 years. Uncommonly, a few animals live into their 40s and, occasionally, beyond. The oldest verifiable record was "Old Billy", a 19th-century horse that lived to the age of 62. In modern times, Sugar Puff, who had been listed in "Guinness World Records" as the world's oldest living pony, died in 2007 at age 56.
Gili Eco Trust
On Gili islands, horses suffer a bad treatment.
Whereas horses normally live about 25 years, they do not live more than a few years on Gili islands because of the amount of work they are demanded and the lack of care from their owners who ignore what they need. Pulling carts around the island wouldn’t be a problem for their health if they could drink fresh water and rest regularly, and be treated when they need to.
That’s why the Gili Eco Trust opens its clinic for free to the horses of the island every 1st and 15th day of the month, in association with the horse center Umalas from Bali and encourages businesses to install in front of their shop a fresh water bucket for the horses.
