Wishing all of you a fabulous Christmas.
We hope you have spent the day making great memories and in the company of loved ones, be that friends, family, or the four-legged ones.
After mucking out, we tried the wrapping paper burst with Babe, she was not keen. This is the aftermath and the best we could do!

Today, we have rehomed the Beautiful Ruby.
Ruby has gone to a local home where she will be keeping G company after his fieldmate moved away.
She and I took an at liberty jog round the track system they have so she could get used to the layout and the new space.
A super lovely pony that will be missed but so pleased for her to go on to another home. Living with G and loaner PT where she will be loved and cared for.
Thank you for all of your support that helps us continue our work helping these amazing animals.
Wishing Rubes her very best life!

Happy Birthday to Sue, our charity founder! ππ
Despite the non-stop work, we try to find ways to have fun. Today, Sue shared her cake with the lovely Ruby (who wasn't a fan!)
In typical Sue style, she's declined any gifts but would truly appreciate any donations to the charity as we prepare for winter by cutting and baling hay.

Let's show her some birthday love! π #CharityFounder #HappyBirthday #GivingBac

Another one of 'those' National days...
No horsing around β today is an opportunity for you to be a good βneeeiiigh-borβ as itβs...
National Help A Horse Day! π
This important occasion aims to raise awareness of the struggles that equines all over the world face and contribute to efforts saving them from cruel and inhumane situations.
We have been on the front line at dozens of horse rescues, seeing things I hope to forget from extreme neglect to problems caused by simple ignorance and horses loose on roads.
The plus side is seeing how these beautiful delicate animals can have their lives turned around and come out stronger, braver and trusting in people again.
No, I'm not asking you to go out and rescue a pony today but if you can do anything to help one, like drop a donation to your local horse charity then please do.
Sacks of feed and bales of hay also count!

What a difference a few days makes?!
Perhaps a sun dance will bring back more days like the weekend.βοΈ
The horses are taking it all in their strides. Enjoying extra hay and shortfeed.π΄ππ΄
*Appeal**
We are looking for more grazing, even temporarily to rest our paddocks and let the grass grow.
Please message if you know of any or any landowners who may be able to help...Options of 5+ acres considered to give some relief (in WR postcodes).
Thank you.
A short break from rain, instead we have snow.
More hay out to help with internal central heating.

The little ones are always up for a game of chase.
Sometimes I can't resist a 'mini stampede'.
Honey gives us the cutest little leap over a log in the field. π΄ππ΄
Today we saw the beautiful Spirit head to her new loan home.
Spirit was an abandonment case, left to starve at the side of the road with another pony. When they first came in, the two were impossible to catch, covered in lice and full of worms.
With love, patience and the right kind of care Spirit has become one of the most loving ponies. Interested in everything and always the first over to say hello.
After a small false start when she didn't want to go into the lorry yesterday, she loaded into the trailer this morning and travelled safely to her new yard ready to start her education and training.
We wish you the very best of luck in your new chapter and can't wait to see your progress.

Whether they are a morning pony or not, it's a pleasure to see them everyday
Have a great day π΄ππ΄
Update on the funding appeal.
Thank you to everyone who has donated, liked and shared the post.
The tally stands at over Β£3000 (not 4 as I mistakenly say in the video).
A great relief to have this support and backing. It will certainly go a long way in helping with the rescue costs.
We have received your messages and I will reply in turn to everyone as soon as I can.
Thank you to Sam at Nero's in Great Malvern who has got a 'name the bear competition' set up in the coffee shop to help raise funds and she did this the day she heard about the accident.
The Oak at Staplow have pledged the donations from their upcoming quiz night (June).
Janet Jones is hosting a table top tack sale and donating a portion of the earnings from that.
Thanks again to everyone
Please support these local businesses and events so they can continue to support local charities like ours and others

Everything still ticking over at the rescue. All the horses happy, fed, hayed and checked.
Cheeky bath for old man Billy when the sun was out on Friday.
Hope everyone had a great Bank Holiday weekendπ΄ππ΄
