Spotlight - Jill Barton Australian Jill Barton, founded charity Egypt Equine Aid, a free equine veterinary clinic for local working animals in Cairo, Egypt. They take in sick & injured horses & donkeys, treat them & educate their owners about better animal husbandry, so they can live pain-free lives again. Egypt Equine Aid evolved after a visit to Egypt by Australian’s Jill and Warren Barton in 2013. They were so shocked at the plight of the horses around the pyramids that they returned to Australia (where they were planning semi-retirement), sold the family home in WA to fund the project and Jill returned to live in Egypt and run EEA in 2014. The hospital has helped thousands of horses and donkeys, and employs three vets to tend to an average of around 75 animals per day. Jill has also received a Medal of the Order of Australia for service to the welfare of equine animals. How amazing, selling up in Australia to move to Egypt, without being able to speak the language, and focusing on helping animals by setting up an Equine Veterinary Clinic. So inspiring!
