TV presenters Stacey Solomon and Joe Swash have become Redwings Guardians, rehoming miniature Shetland ponies Thumbelina and Mermaid from the charity's Ada Cole Centre in Essex. Redwings retains ownership under its Guardianship Scheme, which has rehomed over 500 animals.

A year after a multi-agency rescue of 70 semi-feral Icelandic horses in Devon, The Mare and Foal Sanctuary reports steady progress for the herd, including elderly mare Granny and her foal Sherlock. Its spring appeal is raising funds for their ongoing care.

Redwings Horse Sanctuary is encouraging Christmas shoppers to sponsor a rescued resident, such as Shire cross Fox, from just £2 a month. Sponsors receive a welcome pack and updates, plus free entry to visit their adopted animal at Redwings' centres.

Former Strictly Come Dancing star Flavia Cacace returned to The Donkey Sanctuary's Sidmouth site to meet resident donkeys and learn about its rescue and rehoming work. Flavia, who first visited in 2023, also explored the sanctuary's Donkey Assisted Activities.

A donkey named Darby spent several months at The Donkey Sanctuary's hospital in Devon after a routine tooth extraction led to a non-healing wound caused by a hidden bone fragment. Once vets located and removed the fragment, Darby recovered fully and rejoined his herd.

Redwings describes its rapid response rescuing two foals, Billy and Patch, found suffering liver disease and maggot infestation from ragwort poisoning in Norfolk. Billy could not be saved, but Patch is responding well as the charity appeals for donations.
