Dolly all rugged up
Hi Everyone
All the horses and ponies are well, with their Winter coats growing nice and thick for the coming months ahead. Those horses and ponies which require rugs are all rugged-up to keep them extra warm. This week we welcomed Silvana and Thomas back onto the main yard to spend the next few months in their Winter quarters.
We would like to extend a HUGE thank you to all those who have sent donations, cards and well wishes to the Sanctuary over the past few weeks. There are too many to mention, but we’d like everyone to know that every single one is really appreciated and it is lovely to know that there are so many friends out there, helping the horses and ponies. Again, sincerely thank you.
It’s that time of the year again when the quarterly newsletter is out! Those that give regularly on the Standing Order Scheme, and those who sponsor a horse or pony will be receiving their newsletter through the post – so watch out for the Postman. It’s not too late to Sponsor a horse or pony before Christmas, as this makes an excellent Christmas present! Details are on the “How you can help” and “Sponsorship” pages.
This week Pablo’s was asked to help a local charity “Rethink” as a few members would like to start spending therapeutic time with the horses and ponies in the New Year, and we look forward to welcoming them. Again thank you to Mars UK for generously funding the yard insurance which enables people with physical and mental health issues to spend time with the horses and ponies.

A few individual thank yous this week to Pat a long-standing supporter for her generous donation of £50, good friends Phylis and Richard who save their pennies in jar which amounted to £65, and to Cheryl who held a charity and craft stall in aid of Pablos at Ashlockton Christmas Fair on Saturday 19th November which raised £60.
Our volunteer Wendy is back at Canaan Farm Equestrian Centre’s Open Show on Sunday 18th December, with Pablos’s new and nearly-new equine stall – so if you see Wendy please pop over and say hello.
Have a good week.
