Equestrian rehabilitation centre in Zaporizhzhia region
A woman hugs a horse at an equestrian rehabilitation center in a village in Zaporizhzhia region, Ukraine, on November 5, 2025. The founder of the center, Nina Kovaliv, works for many years as an accountant, including at a stud farm, where her love for horses begins. There she buys her first mare, Richka, saving her from slaughter. With the outbreak of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Nina starts rescuing horses from shelling and abandonment. Among them is Zara, a pony left behind in a garage when its owners evacuate, and a mare from the front-line village of Novodanylivka. To keep her horses, Nina opens the center in a village in Zaporizhzhia region in June of this year, offering free services to veterans of the Russia-Ukraine war.
