Thanks for taking the time to visit Leon's JustGiving page.

It comes with great sadness and a heavy-heart to announce one of the horses we were looking after recently passed away suddenly due to grass sickness. In memory of Leon who was a gentle giant, we have set up a JustGiving page to raise £500 for The Equine Grass Sickness Fund. 

Equine Grass Sickness Fund is the only registered charity raising funds specifically for research into grass sickness, a disease which kills many horses and ponies in Britain each year. It finances projects aimed at finding the cause of the disease and offers advice and support to owners of affected animals.

Leon was a big friendly giant. Generally very well poised. This came unexpected. It just goes to show any horse can be affected. Please help by giving a donation in Leon’s memory and help raise awareness of grass sickness.
