In the past few days we got contacted to take in some ponies whose owner had been prosecuted. The owner had over 60 ponies, some pregnant mares, stallions and foals. Yesterday 22 were rescued and we have taken in 2 very young colts.The situation with unwanted ponies, fly grazing and unnecessary breeding in the equine population…
One of our largest bills used to be hay, which is why we now produce our own on one of the fields donated to the charity. However, as we don’t have anywhere to store it, we have to wrap the hay to save it from the elements. The wrapping not only increases our costs, but…

It’s gone baby hedgehog crazy!!! Over the past week we have had endless calls about teenage size hedgehogs getting into difficulty. Most have come in dehydrated and on Friday night we had 3 in with maggots crawling all over them. Unfortunately we had to put 2 to sleep but with this little man we managed…
