MEET ROBIN & ROSIE
 

Last year, a call was received at the Sanctuary from a lady asking us to take two small ponies as she was unable to care for them anymore for a variety of reasons. We get many calls and emails every day like this call and are unable to help everyone as we just don’t have the room or resources.

But there was something about these two adorable little ponies that stood out. Robin is slightly lighter in colour than Rosie and is on the right of this picture. He is blind in both eyes and relies totally on Rosie his constant companion as his look out. They are inseparable and it only takes Robin to make a small whinny and she is at his side in a moment. Both are very calm and quiet ponies, a pleasure to look after. At the moment they are up at Southcott enjoying the summer grazing, but when the cold weather approaches they will be brought back and given a warm stable. Download pdf...
 

 

MIRANDA NEEDS A COMPANION

 

Can anyone help us?

Miranda, our lovely old donkey – albeit, very noisy donkey is lonely and sad. Last year she lost her faithful donkey companion Sammy to cancer. She had seemed to overcome her grief when she teamed up with a small Dartmoor pony called Faith, but unfortunately in the last few weeks Faith became ill and we had to take the difficult decision to have her put down. Since then poor Miranda has been on her own and none of our other ponies seem right for her to put her out of her misery. It is a very sad sight to see her standing in a field on her own, lonely and depressed.

We need help to locate a donkey male or female that the Sanctuary could give a good and special home to and of course make Miranda’s life complete again. Download pdf...
