Project Cossack started by John O’Connor of Ballykelly Stud to help for animals amid Russian invasion
The team took a week to travel in Ireland in a pair of four by fours and crossed the border near Lyiv and arrived in Kyiv via a circuitous route avoiding road damage done by Russian missiles along the way.
One horse was “orphaned” when a missile hit his owner’s home and he was headed to the meat processing plant until volunteers from Kyiv Hippodrome rescued him and are now training him. Volunteer Bradley Reed said they brought oat balance supplements for the horses feed, intravenous medicines including antibiotics, bandages and poultices alongside food for the horses’ human carers including pastas and canned meats.
