Daisy was born in 2013 on a warm Sunday, right on Palm Sunday (4 days after Jameia's birth). That's where her name comes from. Her mother's name is Dochia.
She was born a free horse, free to enjoy the love, protection, and her mother's milk (she was breastfed by her mother until she was a year and a half old). And along with that, her mother Dochia was able to enjoy her daughter, something that few mares can do in captivity because foals are generally separated from their mothers too soon. For 10 years, the two have shared the same stall and are inseparable wherever they go.

We met Dochia in 2012. At that time, she belonged to an individual who used horses for a sport called Horseball. However, when the clients stopped coming, the owner could no longer afford to maintain the animals and sold 10 of them to a slaughterhouse. Unfortunately, we learned about this too late, and despite searching for them at the slaughterhouse, there was nothing we could do. They had all been killed on the same day they were taken there. At that moment, we decided to try to acquire the remaining horses in case the owner wanted to sell them. After about half a year, we managed to purchase two of the three remaining horses, Dochia and Bella. A few months later, the two of them surprised us with something very beautiful—they both gave birth within 4 days of each other.
Over the years, we learned more about Dochia. She is a horse of the Thoroughbred breed, originating from a stud farm in Arad County, and had at least 4 owners before we took her in. Through medical checks, we discovered that she had a fracture in one of her front legs and her tongue was cut. She is missing about a quarter of her tongue, which affects the chewing process and the retention of food in her mouth. Consequently, when the available food is not of the best quality, she tends to lose weight easily, requiring us to intervene with supplements.
