Hi Everyone
Thomas
All the horses and ponies are well and enjoying this unseasonal warm weather we’ve been having at the end of this week. However, on Wednesday morning Gloria, one of the goats who resides at the Sanctuary, approached one of the volunteers to show them a gash on her side. The gash was about 5″ and no-one has any idea how Gloria got the wound . The vet was immediately called out and on arrival cleaned the wound and gave Gloria stitches and antibiotics. Gloria was a very good patient and having been keep inside for a few days the wound is healing really well. Also this week, Bussie has got a bruised sole, the farrier was called out and on examination it was diagnosed that the sole was badly bruised. Bussie’s foot is now padded out and Bussie is being stabled-kept until the foot is healed. Bussie is also being cared for by companion Lady who stands by Bussie’s stable with her head inside the stable door!!
We would like to thank 103 The Eye Radio Station for having Carole star as their guest speaker on Monday 16th January at 2.00pm. Carole talked about Pablo’s Horse Sanctuary in general terms and also made some appeals for help. On the show The Eye also indulged animal-lovers with a whole hour of horse-themed music. Whilst there Carole recorded an appeal which will keep being played on 103 The Eye Radio Station. It is planned for a live broadcast to take place on the Long Clawson yard sometime in the near future, so a special thank you to Billy Ray and Dr Jay and all the team at 103 The Eye.
Also thank you to Debbie at On The Sands Cafe and Deli in Long Clawson, who raised £47 in the Pablo’s collection tin that is kept on their counter. On The Sands Cafe and Deli has the most delicious home-made foods for you to buy, or if you have a little more time you can enjoy the ambiance of the cafe. It is a great place to meet a friend and have a lovely lunch – for more information please visit their website www.onthesands.co.uk or just click on the link on right.
We would also like to thank the 3 generous donations that were made anonymously this week which totaled £110. These donations are so gratefully received and as always 100% of donations are spent directly on the welfare of the horses and ponies, as the Sanctuary is run completely by the kindness of volunteers.
We say a sad farewell to one of our volunteers, who is moving away from the area and we wish them all the best for their future. However, this means we need more help for the evening feeds at the Long Clawson site. So if you could give a few hours in an evening, even just one evening a week, please get in touch with Carole.
And finally, last week was Carole’s Birthday which she has kept very quite about – so on behalf of all the volunteers, horses and ponies, and friends of the Sanctuary – we would like to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY CAROLE!!!!! and wish you many more happy birthdays.
Have a good week
