Story

Lio was the first foal to be born in 2020. His arrival on 23rd April came at a time when we had already made significant work adjustments during the Coronavirus pandemic.

Lio's Story:

Lotte was rescued as the result of an RSPCA prosecution case. She arrived with a small group of pregnant mares relinquished as part of a multi-agency rescue led by the RSPCA. The case resulted in the prosecution of Ann Sim at the North Devon Equine Rescue in Barnstaple, for causing unnecessary suffering to animals.

The birth went smoothly and we captured it on camera.

The pair joined 220 resident horses and ponies who require our expert care at five sanctuaries across Devon.

Now a year on Lio is progressing well with his training. We need your help to continue providing ponies like Lio with the safety of the Sanctuary for life. For each foal we rescue, we need provide them with life-changing care for the next 30 years.

Your donations could help us help even more horses and ponies in need.
