This week we have moved Smartie to his new home. Smartie has been with us for a few years now, he’s not been an easy pony to home. He first came in as a very abuse pony, very nervous of around humans and at the bottom of the pecking order in the pony herd. He…
Thank you to all of our volunteers who have spent days and days helping us prepare for our open day and many who arrived earlier on the day, working really hard so that the day was a success and what a success it was! With around 1,000 visitors throughout the day, with the lovely sunshine,…
For the first time in nine years of running the rescue, we have no goats! Danny, Rusty and Ha Ha our last three goats have all been rehomed together. We always carry out home checks and offer advice as we need to be sure new owners can care for our rescued animals. We know that…

So Prince Harry does 100 mile round trip to get his girlfriend to a wedding but we have done 400 miles and 8 hours of driving over the weekend to get Barney to his forever home. I think our trip was far more important and far more newsworthy and worth every mile of travel. Barney…
Curly and Tufty who we saved some years ago have finally found a wonderful new home with another goat called Henry. Although Henry is very small and the boys very large, they got on fine and soon settled in. In fact Henry can walk underneath the boys without touching the sides! The boys were original…
