The increasing costs in forage,
bedding, vet fees etc plus the added expense of Horse Passports has plunged the
Sanctuary into dire straights.
The recent rescue of horses in distress has
also added to our costs plus earlier in the year we were hit with strangles
– an infectious equine disease which meant our first Open Day had to be
cancelled and also extra veterinary and disinfectant costs etc |
| Each year our residents become
that bit older and therefore in more need of specialised care, special food and
regular veterinary attention and medication. |
| Among those new animals are:
- |
| ROSIE – a little Shetland
mare with terribly twisted legs. She was being used as a breeding machine which
was putting even more weight and pressure on her twisted joints. |
| DICKIE – a small pony
purchased from a Sale ring. He was suffering from an infectious viral condition
and should not have been going through the trauma of sale. |
