A Message from our Patron, Martin Shaw...

DearFriend,
During 2016 we continued to take in more horses from dire situations in response to the ongoing horse crisis. In addition to over 1000 rescued farm animals, there are now over 1600 horses,ponies and donkeys being cared for at the Sanctuary.
In the summer many of our rescued horses,cows and sheep graze on over 1500 acres of meadows in the Norfolk countryside where they are checked at least twice every day but otherwise are free to enjoy a wonderfully natural environment.
In the winter they return to the Sanctuary where we lay huge straw beds to keep them comfortable and dry. We also place large straw bales to make high protective walls which give them shelter. In this way we have been able to care for hundreds of animals who would otherwise have come to a sad and distressing end.
This massive undertaking has stretched our resources to their limit and we are only able to keep going with your help...
Please donate on the back page to help us continue this important work.
Thank you
