For each foal rescued or born at the Sanctuary, we need to be around for the next 30 years or more to provide them with the expert care and training they need, as well as a safe home for life.

We're looking back at some of our foals through the years who have faced complex rescues or life-threatening births and updating you on their training and rehabilitation.

Your support is needed now to help us be there for the next 30 years and ensure we can continue providing sanctuary for life.

Seven years of specialist care for Breeze

Breeze was found suckling from mare to mare after being rejected by his mother and arrived within hours of his birth in 2013. He had become gravely ill and we provided life-saving care.

Seven years on and Breeze has progressed with his handling after requiring rehabilitation from his past trauma.

Two years of specialist care for Diangelo

Diangelo's dam had health problems when she arrived in foal at the Sanctuary in 2018.

She was monitored 24 hours a day in our foaling stables and grooms slept in an adjacent room so that they could provide emergency care if necessary.

Thanks to the dedication of the experienced grooms, both mares gave birth to healthy young colts, Diangelo and Mason.

After two years of care, Diangelo now stands at 16hh.

The next 30 years of specialist care for Teyah

This year we reached a historic milestone with the arrival of our 1000th rescue since our charity was founded by Rosemary Kind in 1988.

The filly foal was born at our Honeysuckle Sanctuary in April this year but developed a life-threatening condition. Our expert staff were quick to act, giving emergency veterinary care.

However, Fuzzy Bears foal quickly started to show the early signs of colic; tail swishing, being restless and agitated so we rushed her to the team at Western Counties Equine Hospital where she stayed for five days of intensive care.

Her dam Fuzzy Bear arrived with two other pregnant mares, Lotte and Taylor, having been relinquished as part of a multi-agency rescue led by the RSPCA, which resulted in a prosecution for causing unnecessary suffering to animals. Lotte and Taylor gave birth to healthy foals Lio and Tulip.

Teyah is doing well now, but only thanks to the lifesaving treatment she received in our care and with the help of the veterinary teams.

For the next 30 years or more, Teyah will have the protection of the Sanctuary.

We are asking for your support of £30 to help us for the next 30 years.
