My name is Lily and I am a very elderly donkey. My life has not been easy and the memories of what happened to me before I came to live at the Pegasus Sanctuary are hazy because it was a long time ago. I do remember some people arranging to send me and my friend to the donkey killers place but Felicity came and saved us at the last minute.
I am content now but I have had two near death experiences since I've been here! Being an elderly lady donkey means that I do need regular treatment on my teeth. One day the vet came and was doing something to my teeth. I was being brave and putting up with whatever it was that he was doing, when all of a sudden, he accidentally sliced my tongue! Donkey rules say we mustn't show when we are in pain ( we are prey animals ) but I nearly leapt out of my skin and inside I was shrieking!
It hurt so much that I couldn't eat anything for ages afterwards no matter how many times my human carers tried to tempt me with tasty food. Just as I was giving up, one of my carers, an Angel Human poked something called ' apple puree' into my mouth and it was so delicious I swallowed a bowlful! Since then, I have been able to enjoy eating, although of course I must have extra special feed because of my age.
Last year I very nearly went again, when I got an abscess on my foot which made me feel dreadfully ill. A ( different) vet and my lovely carers nursed me back to health and gave me a nice boot to wear on my foot.
I would have died three times in my life had it not been for my loving carers at the Pegasus Sanctuary and the support of my best donkey friend Danny.
I am a little bit frail now so I really need my special feed and supplements so I can boss those naughty young donkeys around the place. I know they think I'm cheeky and opinionated!
I expect you have gathered that because of my age, I have to have special treatment for my mouth and feet. I need a winter coat and special fe

My name is GYPSY and I'm 34 years old! Felicity saved my life four years ago when she got me away from the slaughter house. Since then, I have been happy and healthy, living at the Pegasus Sanctuary. People tell me that I am a gorgeous. Kind hearted boy who loves to please. I don't feel old at all and love to play around with my young mini-Shetland friend Blue as you can see in the video.
My health is good because of all the special feed, full of nutrients I get and to be honest, once I get my head in that feed bucket, it will not come out until every morsel has gone and I lick the bucket clean! I also have regular check-ups on my heart and maintenance on my teeth and feet. But all these essential things are costly and I really wish I could have a sponsor to support me live here for the rest of my days in comfort and safety. Thank you from a horse just being a horse. "

We'd notice that Emeraude wasn't eating properly, so yesterday our dentist Chloe came out to take a look and as she was examining Emeraude's teeth, a big molar fell out! The rest of Emeraude's teeth are fine, which is excellent news😁.
Emeraude is 32 years old and a lovely, gentle girl. She's been with us since we rescued her with her sister in 2019. When her sister died a couple of years later, we feared that Emeraude wouldn't survive the shock of losing her sister and best friend, but she surprised us and bounced back. She's now best friends with half-Arab, Grazielle.
If you're interested in sponsoring Emeraude, please get in touch🥰
