Friends of Mio
The non-profit association Friends of Mio was started with the purpose of enabling a place where land, animals and people can meet in a non-hierarchical way.
Friends of Mio supports one of Scandinavia's largest sanctuaries for horses and other animals, the farm Friskeröd outside Tanumshede. Around 160 animals, which would otherwise have been euthanized, now have their life-long homes at Friskeröd under as natural conditions as possible.
Together we have made the impossible possible - people from all over the world have together collected almost 10 million SEK (approx USD 900 000) . The farm Surtung, with all its inhabitants, could thus be acquired and with the entry of the farm Surtung on October 2, 2023, the land is free.
​

THANK YOU

A tree of projects is being summarized based on various places longing around the farm. You can read about these shortly here on the website.

Vision
Land - Animal - Human
Somehow, it is often hard to find the right question. Unless someone reminds you. In this case it was a rather new acquaintance who put the question forth; what is the horses' vision of the foundation?

Friskeröd
One of Scandinavia's largest sanctuaries for horses & other animals
The animal sanctuary at Friskeröd was founded in 1995 and since its inception has specialized in taking care of animals suffering from post-traumatic stress. Then to a small extent with a few individuals on the farm Friskeröd, the home of Emelie Cajsdotter. Over the years, the number of animals that needed a lifelong home with space for healing has gradually increased, and with it the need for more pasture and more volunteer efforts.
