A few weeks ago our friends at Brook Farm Animal Sanctuary took in 30 sheep from a gentleman who could no longer care for them. We are helping by taking on 6 ewes, and they have made good friends with our resident ram, Jakey.

Up and down the country breeders are unnecessarily putting mares into foal when there is no hope of a future for them unless rescue centres step in. The owner of this pony had hundreds. The breeding had spiralled out of control and…
