Prince Fluffy Kareem

We are a small group of people working to help horses, donkeys and camels by the pyramids in Cairo, Egypt. 

 The "pyramid horses" and camels are being used to take tourists and local Egyptians on rides around the pyramids and the surrounding desert. Horses and donkeys are also used as transport for locals and to pull carts selling various produce. Stables here are small and narrow and often filled with sand, so donkeys are used for both cleaning out manure and to bring clean sand inside.

 Most of the owners we work with have low incomes and many are illiterate. They don't have money to pay a good vet and they don't have access to updated knowledge about horses. Hence, they rely on old methods used by their fathers and grandfathers. The main goal for PFK is to educate owners to better understand their animals' needs. A horse with joint injuries needs rest, not linefiring. A horse that doesn't eat needs a health check and maybe having its teeth rasped, not strings through its belly. A horse with fever needs anti-pyretic medication, not to have its ears or neck cut with a razor blade "to let dirty blood out".

​We offer free medical treatment including vet assessment, x-rays, blood tests, farrier work, teeth rasping and deworming. The horses that are in need of daily care become inpatients, meaning they stay with us, with all feed and medical care free of charge.
