Webcams

We use cctv to watch our horses without having to disturb them, which is quite important with the wild mares who are due to give birth.

New Rug for Blind Rescue Horse Ellie

Sanctuary News

by tamzin

CONGRATULATIONS to Rosy Lewis-Ullah, Head Groom at one of our two stable yards at Haccombe with Coombe, who was the lucky winner of a competition she entered at the recent South West Christmas Equine Fair.

When Rosy, from Clyst St George, received her prize, a British Horse Feeds-branded Thermatex® Rug, she decided to give it to one of her favourite residents at the Mare & Foal Sanctuary – a 21-year-old Blanket Spot Appaloosa Cross Mare called Ellie.

Now retired and totally blind as a result of Uveitis, Ellie will remain a permanent resident at the Mare & Foal Sanctuary which is dedicated to rescuing and finding loving new homes for horses and ponies across the region.

Rosy said: “I’m happy to say that Ellie lives a full life, going out in the field with her companion, and she even does pole work to fine-tune her voice commands.”
