Poo-pick-a-thon Challenge!

On Monday 28^th March, the Highweek Cubs will be taking on a mighty poo-pick challenge to help raise money for rescued horses and ponies at the Mare and Foal Sanctuary.

Did you know the average horse will poo approximately eight times a day? This could weigh as much as 22kg per day! It’s true, and with over 170 horses and ponies in their care, the Mare and Foal Sanctuary need the support of the amazing Highweek Cubs, who always do their best!

The cubs will compete in teams of five to scoop as much poop as they can in 10 minutes! They will then take their laden barrows to the weighbridge to find out how many kilos they managed to gather. Every team will be given an award following their challenge and the team who scoops the most will win a prize!

By supporting the cubs with their challenge, you’ll help them to raise money to support a local charity in making a difference to the lives of rescued horses and ponies in need.

If you would like to support these brave cubs, we’d be incredibly grateful. All money raised will go directly to the Mare and Foal Sanctuary. You could sponsor them through a one-off donation, or by donating £1 for every kilo you think they’ll scoop! Your support will help them plough on in rain or shine to complete their challenge!

Thank you for your kind support – it really does mean the world to us and the horses and ponies in our care.

We’re the place for people who want to make a difference to the lives of foals, horses and ponies. The Mare and Foal Sanctuary rescues horses and ponies that have been abandoned, neglected or abused. We also ensure that horses and ponies have a sanctuary for life. Most horses and ponies are given care for life through our network of knowledgeable carers. Those horses and ponies with more complex needs are cared for in our peaceful sanctuaries.
