We have a hay delivery arriving tomorrow!

There’s a shortage in the UK & shockingly, we now have to pay £10 a bale, which means the cost has more than doubled

Please could you help us reach our fundraising goal?

Thank you 🙏

So proud that my book ‘A Horse Called Now’ is included in the Wellbeing Library initiative in #childrensmentalhealthweek
This is a story about the power of living in the moment. Children can practise breathing away their worries with Now the horse, knowing even the wildest storms will one day end 💙

Please help. 10 quid a bale - think of the joy for the Sanctuary.
This winter has been long & hard. Relentless rain has turned sparse grass to mud

We’ve got a hay shortage in the UK & now have to pay £10 a bale!

Please could you help us reach our fundraising goal so we’re able to order more hay: www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding...

We’ve had the shocking news that our hay is now £10 a bale due to the hay crisis in the UK. It’s absolutely crippling

If there’s anyway you can help us reach our target so we can put in a big hay delivery, we’d be really thankful: www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding...

Thank you Gwydhel for the fantastic feedback on our latest Patreon podcast episode! 💚
I just did, thanks for the good wishes:-). As a retiree, I have to do it all by myself. As a retired educator, I noticed so many educational aspects in that experience, for those of us who want to foster the education of children and teens in the values of the Animal Cause, it's the ideal to pursue!

Sanctuaries like yours are the embodimento of the civilizational values only assisted sanctuaries make it feasible to materialize. Although I do get the importance of respecting the environment, the chain food is antithetical with what we pursue, which is harmony among different species.

Sheep form close & long lasting friendships.

Harby & Arkle were sad & neglected when we rescued them. Now they’re thriving! They particularly enjoy getting into mischief together ❤️❤️

Come with us on a fence walk after storm Chandra — checking for fallen trees, branches & fixing fencing

We had no idea that we were about to find that vandals had struck…

(Thankfully the animals are well 🙏)
