One of two ponies rescued off Bodmin Moor and brought to the Sanctuary in 1996. With very unusual markings, Deirdre was also in foal and eventually gave birth to Dennis - who is out on loan. Deirdre resides full time at Southcott.
Sylvia and Terry Phillips started the Sanctuary which gained Charity status in 1980. They began the principle of maintaining a small and personal establishment, which allows for each animal to be cared for as an individual and given all the love and attention they deserve.
Since the beginning many children and adults including the disabled and the disadvantaged have gained great benefit from close contact with our animals and we still see this as an important part of what we do.

We have very sad news, last thursday on the 3rd of May we unfortuntaly lost our one and only wonderful donkey Miranda. She sadly suffered a heart attack and passed away, thankfully she wasn't alone as two of our helpers and our vet were with her when it happened and for this we are grateful that she had people she knew and loved with her as she passed.
