Bodmin Moorland Ponies Kea, Petrok, Hicca and Tremain (pictured above) were among those rescued most recently who are now being cared for at our specialist welfare and veterinary unit. The first horses to be rescued were in very bad condition, they were underweight and suffering from very high worm and parasite burdens. Unfortunately, one young colt sadly died. Another was so debilitated that for the first month he had to be lifted up every day as he was too weak to stand up himself.

We are pleased to be involved in this multi-agency operation to improve the welfare of ponies on Bodmin Moor. Redwings Horse Sanctuary and the RSPCA led the operation in collaboration with the Bodmin Moor Commons Council. All of the Bodmin ponies here at the Sanctuary are now making progress. They are slowly recovering with lots of love, care and attention from our dedicated grooms. 

£4000 could go towards the cost of caring for these ponies. Please help if you can by making a donation today. Thank you.
