Sadly ...

we have failed to reach our target of £600,000 to buy the property where the sanctuary is situated and therefore cannot call on the pledges which we have been given.  Officially we have to leave the farm by  12th August - we are going to appeal for longer but the maximum time allowed is 4 weeks.  Although they are so content and happy these magnificent  animals are either old, have special needs or have suffered such terrible abuse at the hands of man that it is impossible to rehome them.  To avoid having the animals slaughtered we are appealing to everyone to send donations to enable us to move to another location.

Please DONATE 

Above: "Tilly Trotter" poor little thing almost died - We found her tied to the gate during my night rounds.  By some miracle she has fully recovered. This is why we must  keep going.  Too many horses arrive here in a similar condition and things are getting worse - this winter will be terrible.  We must keep going to save them.

Sara with "Fly by Night" who was left for dead as a day old foal.  He survived against all odds, reared in the house, having to go on a drip and being fed by tube as he was too weak to suck. A real success story.

"Bertha" and "Percy" who are new arrivals.  Bertha is a giant - towering in at 20 hh + and Percy (black) is a warhorse who is 19 hh and came with many behavioural problems.
