The Mare and Foal Sanctuary rescued three horses, Hazel, Willow and Oakley, who arrived suffering lice, sweet itch, dental problems and eye infections needing urgent care. Hazel recovered well, but Willow and Oakley were sadly put to sleep despite treatment.

The Mare and Foal Sanctuary is appealing to prospective owners to rehome rather than buy a companion pony, as it looks to place around 50 non-ridden ponies this year. The charity, at full capacity, says loaning ponies will free space to rescue more equines in crisis.

A young pony named Dakota, severely wounded in a stallion attack in the West Country, has made a remarkable recovery thanks to equine charities working in partnership. The joint effort has given Dakota a renewed chance at a bright future.

An appeal for donated socks by The Donkey Sanctuary's Italian base has gone viral after being widely shared across social media platforms in Italy. The unusual campaign aims to help protect the sanctuary's donkeys.

A friendly cob who spent years helping children and young people at a Brixton horse club has been given a specialist retirement home at Redwings. The sanctuary will provide him with ongoing care suited to his needs.

Redwings is offering an Adoption Star sponsorship of a horse or donkey as a unique and thoughtful gift option. The sponsorship can be given to a friend or loved one, or kept as a treat for oneself.
