Serbian Zeljko Ilicic saved his first horse from death 12 years ago and found his calling.
Ilicic is now 43. He set up the Balkan country’s only horse sanctuary in 2015. It is found on a small piece of land in Lapovo in Central Serbia.
The sanctuary is called Old Hill. In the Serbian language, it is Staro Brdo. Around 80 horses have passed through it over the years. Ilicic has taken in tortured, old, and abused horses. But he also takes those that had lived well but could no longer be looked after by caretakers.
