Our 1000th rescue has arrived.
We have reached a historical milestone with the arrival of our 1000th rescue since our charity was founded by Rosemary Kind in 1988.
The filly foal was born at our Honeysuckle Yard but developed a life-threatening condition. Our expert staff were quick to act, giving emergency veterinary care, and we are now inviting the public to name her to celebrate her survival.
Fuzzy Bear arrived with two other pregnant mares, Lotte and Taylor, having been relinquished as part of a multi-agency rescue led by the RSPCA. The case resulted in the prosecution of Ann Sim at the North Devon Equine Rescue in Barnstaple, for causing unnecessary suffering to animals.
Her filly foal was born late on Thursday 30 April but quickly started to show the early signs of colic; tail swishing, being restless and agitated.
