We've been asked to help find a loving home for Bertie and Bruno, two friendly donkey boys.

Bertie and Bruno are 19 and 21 years old, gelded and around 1m15 tall. They're well-behaved and curious, good to groom, pick up their hooves and catch. They are both prone to white line disease, so have their feet trimmed regularly by the farrier to control this, but otherwise are in good health.

They're currently near Vire 14500.

Please send us a message if you're interested in adopting them. Please share, thank you x

A big thank you to our lovely farrier, Mika Maréchalerie, who braved the afternoon heat to come and trim some of our residents yesterday.

We really can't recommend Mikael highly enough. He also gives us a much-reduced rate,which we are extremely grateful for - thank you Mikael🥰.

Un grand merci à notre gentil maréchal-ferrant, Mika Maréchalerie, qui a bravé la chaleur de l'après-midi pour venir parer certains de nos résidents hier.

Nous ne pouvons vraiment pas assez recommander Mikael. Il nous propose également un tarif très réduit, pour lequel nous lui sommes extrêmement reconnaissants - merci Mikael🥰.

Gorgeous girls, Isabella and Maria, are still looking for their forever home.

Isabella and Maria are the sweetest mini-Shetlands you could hope to meet, gentle and good with children. We believe they are mum and daughter and in their early teens. We are also looking for a home for their 2 sons, Blue and Sooty, both aged 5 years.

Please send us a message if you're interested in adopting them. They will come with an adoption contract to ensure their welfare.

Please share, thank you x

Please share the original post. This horse has been sold on at the end of 2023 without the owner's permission and they are still trying to find him.
Sold from the Mayenne and now believed to be in Spain.

💜💜💜💜
These lovely beauties are available for adoption. They are very cute and well behaved. They don’t bite or kick and they are available as either two mums or two boys (the two boys will be available at a later date as they are currently elsewhere).

Please get in touch if you would like more information or would like your visit them here, at the Sanctuary.

👀Can you help? We urgently need donations of items for our monthly online auctions. These are a vital way for us to raise funds to help pay the bills, but we're desperately short of good items to sell.

We sell all sorts of things on the auctions - ornaments, crockery, jewellery, clothes and accessories, paintings/prints, etc. If you have anything suitable, please get in touch. Ideally items that can be posted and in good condition (not things that would be better off at the déchetterie please😆).
We'd love donations of handmade items from artisans too😍.

Thank you very much 😘

👀Pouvez-vous aider ? Nous avons un besoin urgent de dons d'articles pour nos enchères mensuelles en ligne. Il s'agit d'un moyen essentiel pour nous de collecter des fonds pour aider à payer les factures, mais nous manquons de bons articles à vendre.

Nous vendons toutes sortes de choses aux enchères : bibelots, vaisselle, bijoux, vêtements et accessoires, peintures, etc. Si vous avez quelque chose qui vous convient, n'hésitez pas à nous contacter. Idéalement des articles postables et en bon état (pas des choses qui seraient mieux à la déchetterie s'il vous plait😆).
Nous aimerions également les dons d'articles faits à la main par des artisans😍.

Merci beaucoup 😘

We're looking for a home for mini-Shetlands, Isabella and Maria, and their sons, Blue and Sooty, who recently returned to the Sanctuary.

Although it would be perfect if we could find a home for them together, they can be rehomed in pairs - the two boys and the 2 mums.
They're all very sweet, and good with children.

Please get in touch if you're interested. They will come with an adoption contract and an adoption fee will apply. Ideally we're looking for someone with a bit of experience. Please contact us for more information.

SOLUTION FOUND 😁

😍We're looking for a home for Dexter and Theo, two lovely donkey boys who we rescued from the abattoir back in 2019. Due to a change of circumstances, they now need a new home.

They're lovely boys, 13 and 15 years old. They're both friendly and come when called. They're used to being handled, enjoy attention and being brushed. We remember them both well, they have lovely, cheeky characters🥰.

If you think you can offer a forever home to Dexter and Theo please send us a message. They will come with an adoption contract to ensure their welfare and a small adoption fee will apply. They're currently in Vire 14500, Normandy.

If you can spare a few hours a week, or more, please send us a message or text Felicity on 07.69.78.56.03, or email us at [email protected].

Hope to see you soon!

Felicity moved to France in 2007 and has been rescuing equines, cats, goats and dogs (probably other animals which I can’t recall!) ever since.

The Association was formalised in 2016 and over the years has rescued so many equines; what an amazing legacy. By rescuing all of these animals, Felicity has given so many of us the opportunity to carry on the Pegasus legacy by continuing to care for and love the animals that were saved from death and cruelty.

Please support this amazing charity that helps so many and in particular many of the ageing equines who will reside at the Pegasus Sanctuary for the rest of their lives.

Thank you so much for your ongoing support. 💜💜💜💜🫏🫏🫏🫏💜💜💜💜🐴🐴🐴🐴

💜💜💜Emergency Appeal💜💜💜

Despite the rumours that the Pegasus Sanctuary is closed; it certainly isn’t! It is closed to taking on any more equines, however there are currently 20 residents here, the majority of whom are very difficult or even impossible to rehome. Therefore, the majority of the equines will reside here forever. As a result of this, we still require donations as the Sanctuary entirely survives on donations.

The bank account funds are so low after paying for outstanding feed and vet bills.

Please consider a donation or even sponsorship of one of our lovely equines who will be very grateful for your support.

Thank you everyone for your ongoing support; it is greatly appreciated by the equines.

Eek!!! We are desperately low on funds - just €13 in our bank account 😱. With the new arrivals, we now have 20 residents in our care and the bills never stop coming.
If anyone could please help us with a donation, we would be extremely.grateful. We must say a heartfelt thank you to everyone who donates on a regular/ monthly basis 🥰 - we would truly be lost without you.

If you'd like to donate any amount, no matter how small, will help. You can use this PayPal link paypal.me/thepegasussanctuary or PayPal to [email protected], or you can donate by bank transfer or cheque - please let us know and we'll send the details.

Thank you 💕💕💕

We must say a VERY big thank you to all the lovely people at BOUSSAC BROCANTE for their wonderful donation of 400 euros🥰. We had an outstanding feed bill which we were able to pay, thank to this very generous donation.

As most of our residents are getting on in years, they really benefit from having a daily bucket feed to make sure they're getting all the extra nutrients they need to keep them fit and well.

Thank you to everyone at Boussac Brocante 😘😍💕

25/06/2024

💜💜💜💜What more can we say? They are so adorable and cute and who doesn’t love a group of mini Shetlands?

Through no fault of their own, these lovelies will shortly be available for rehoming. They are currently a group of two girls and a boy and their little brother will be joining them shortly.

They have been stabled, wormed and are now out in the fields enjoying themselves.

Please get in touch if you would like to adopt these beauties. An adoption fee and welfare contract will apply. 💜💜💜💜

🥰A very big THANK YOU to all the lovely people at Ark 79 who have just sent us a donation of 500 euros. We can't tell you what a huge difference this has made to us at a time when our account was near zero after a 600 euro hay bill.

From everyone at The Pegasus Sanctuary, a truly heartfelt thank you to everyone at Ark and all your supporters 🥰.

PS the combined age of the 4 horses in the pic (Emeraude, Evrard, Irlandaise and Fee), all resident at the Sanctuary, is 123 years 😍💕

Here is an interesting article about how to care for ageing donkeys and mules.

Aging mules and donkeys need to be managed just as carefully as horses. Here's what you need to know.

👀 We are urgently looking for more volunteers to join our small team helping to care for our residents at the Sanctuary in Dangy.

We are looking for people who can spare just an hour or two to come and help Felicity with the morning or evening feeds, from around 09h30 or 17h. Felicity has no help on Fridays or Sundays, so we particularly need people who could help on these days - but help on any day will be very much appreciated. Travel expenses, etc., can be reimbursed.

Experience is helpful, but not essential, just a desire to muck in and help where needed.

If you can spare a few hours a week, or more, please send us a message or email us at [email protected].

Hope to see you soon!

💜💜💜💜💜Many of our equines are older and some of them struggle to eat hay and others need some extra nutrition due to their age. Fortunately, there are some brilliant products to help our equines maintain a good level of nutrition and we regularly use two products. One which we get from La Maison/Agrial - FIBRISSIMO and Hay Cobs from Hartog which we get from the JMT shop in St Lo (they have other locations). Hay Cobs have all sorts of goodies in them including grass, nettles and rosehips and the equines who are on twice daily feeds love it. We normally soak them for a mash and they are very popular with our equines💜💜💜💜💜

Here are the links if any if your equines could benefit from these amazing products:

A very big thank you to all the lovely people at BOUSSAC BROCANTE who are sending us a donation of 300 euros🥰. We really can't say a big enough thank you😘.
Your donation means we can pay one of our outstanding feed bills. Most of our residents are older and need a bit of extra support, so daily bucket feeds are an essential part of their diet, helping to keep everyone in top form.

Pictured are 3 of our residents, Indi, Graziella and Emeraude - with a combined age of 90 years 😍💕
