Désirée Fiers came with a lot of friends of Rancho Hetjen (Maastricht, the Netherlands). All of them work with horses and they liked it very much. First Desiree choose Black Diamond. After seeing the cast around Santa's leg she fell for him. Santa is in the group now and is using his leg again. Desiree choose to continue to pay for his care. Thank you Desiree....

Thanks to our sponsors!
