Sixteen Horses and Ponies Arrive as Yet Another Sanctuary Closes...

In April we undertook an emergency rescue to bring sixteen horses and ponies to Hillside from a Manchester animal sanctuary that could no longer manage to survive. The manager's mother pleaded with us to take the horses after her daughter had left the sanctuary. The constant stress of running a sanctuary and worrying about raising the funds to feed and care for the animals, had taken its toll and she could no longer cope. In light of continuing concerns about the welfare of the horses and ponies, the RSPCA had visited on several occasions. On collecting the animals our driver told us to be prepared to receive several in poor condition.

It is such a shame to see another sanctuary close their doors after trying to do their best to help animals in need.

We are so grateful to our supporters, whose kindness allows us to help in desperate situations such as these. Thank you for caring.
