This aches my heart 🥺👇

On a sunlit highway in India, two elephants stood atop separate trucks — silent giants carried away by fate. They had grown up together, shared the same soil, the same water, the same memories. Brothers in every sense. But today was different.

Each truck was headed in a different direction… each to a different buyer… each to a life unknown.

As the convoy slowed at a toll station, the two elephants turned toward each other. No words, no cries — only a slow, deliberate stretch of their trunks… reaching… until they touched. A moment suspended in time. Their trunks curled gently together, in what could only be described as a hug — or perhaps, a farewell kiss.

A final act of love in the face of separation.

For all our noise and cleverness, it is in such quiet moments that animals remind us of something we often forget — to feel. Elephants, among the most intelligent beings on Earth, carry memories, sorrow, and affection. Their hearts, some say, are as vast as the lands they once roamed freely.

Glory be to the One who placed such mercy and tenderness in the hearts of elephants…
and such cruelty, distance, and indifference in the hearts of some men.

So excited for the HHO Charity Shop to have launched a selection of clothing from our shop on Vinted. Grab yourself a bargain and support animals in need! All proceeds go directly towards the animals in our care.

One community, thousands of brands, and a whole lot of second-hand style. Ready to get started? Here’s how it works.

"You looked after us in our heartache,
When we were abandoned and left alone.
You welcomed each of us and gave us shelter
And Sathya Sai became our home.

You never turned an equine away.
You showed us love and warmth and care.
One human who has left her mark.
Who made an impact very rare.

We'll never forget your kindness,
As we hang our heads without mirth,
For we've heard the humans whisper,
That you have passed away from earth

And although we'll greatly miss you,
Your work on earth is done.
Rest easy gentle Sue Paling.
Walk our 'rainbow bridge' up to the stars and sun.

🌈 ✨ ☀️ 🐎 🌎.

A wave of indescribable sadness swept through Hungry Horse Outside and the greater rescue community yesterday when we received the news of the passing of our great friend Sue Paling of Sathya Sai Donkey Sanctuary. Whilst Sue had been ill for quite some time nothing prepares you. Sue was a great support to Hungry Horse Outside from its formation to the rescue it is today. Her guidance and experience influenced the roads we took, the decisions we made, especially when it came to the donkeys. Guidance we were always grateful for. Sue, in many ways was our greatest supporter, always cheering from the sidelines, always quietly doing her best to support the animals and indeed the humans around her. She will be sorely missed by everyone at Hungry Horse. Pictured below some of our memories together through out the years.

Sue was the visionary founder of the Sathya Sai Donkey Sanctuary, leaves behind a legacy of compassion and tireless dedication to the well-being of donkeys, mules, ponies and horses in need. Her unwavering commitment to these often-overlooked creatures transformed their lives and brought attention to their suffering, reminding us all of the importance of kindness and respect for all living beings.

Through her sanctuary, Sue not only created a safe haven for countless donkeys, but she also instilled a deep sense of responsibility in the community to care for animals in need. Her work was driven by an unshakable belief in the value of empathy and the healing power of love, which she generously shared with all those who crossed her path.

Sue's legacy lives on in the countless lives she touched—both human and animal alike. She showed us what it truly means to live with purpose and to care deeply for those who cannot speak for themselves. The Sathya Sai Donkey Sanctuary will forever stand as a testament to her extraordinary vision, her love for animals, and the impact of one person’s dedication to making the world a better place for those who need it most.

Rest in peace, Sue. Your light will continue to shine in the hearts of all who knew you, and your sanctuary will remain a lasting tribute to your remarkable life and work.

Our thoughts are with Sue's family and close friends at this difficult time
