Our residents are lucky to enjoy regular visits from Friends Of Baxter Animal Care ‘s Sue and her lovely students, who come along to offer the animals Reiki healing.

Here are just some of the residents enjoying the extra special attention on a recent visit- Charlie, Billy,Lyla,Buddy,Theo,Alex and Coco. Clover also soaked up the attention.

Thanks to Sue, Andy and Juliet for volunteering their time and energy to help our beautiful animals on their healing journeys and for the detailed feedback we receive on each animal. It’s really insightful and lovely to witness the residents responding with calmness and releasing stress 💗

🌟 Winter at Hope Pastures 🌟

Winter is a tough time of year for us, with the costs of straw, hay, feed, and utilities adding up fast. You might notice us sharing fundraising activities over the coming weeks - Your support makes an enormous difference, especially as we've taken in a record number of horses this year due to an overwhelming number of intake requests.

One way you can help (and have a wonderful time!) is by joining our Festive Wreath Making Workshop on December 6. Last year’s event was a huge hit, with beautiful high-quality materials and some truly stunning wreaths created. It’s all happening in our cosy Visitor Centre, complete with drinks and mince pies (or alternatives).

🎄 Whether you’re a creative crating genius or just fancy a festive evening out, we’d love you and your friends to join us. Your participation helps us care for more horses, ponies, and donkeys this winter.

Book your place today and support our great cause! ❤️

Our ponies were in for a surprise when they met their new hay feeder - The Slow Grazer Hay Feeder is a prototype which Doncaster plastics kindly donated to us! 🐴 Watch as they try to figure out what this mysterious arrival is and whether it’s friend or foe. 😂

Thanks to Doncaster Plastics for gifting us this feeder in return for our feedback. Once they had overcome their initial apprehension, they got stuck in and now clearly have very positive thoughts on it—as do we!
