I've just had a call from a really lovely lady called Sally at ILPH. She rang to thank me for offering help etc the other day.

She explained that they can't have anyone in to help at their yard due to insurance/health & saftey etc but the offer was gratefully appreciated.

They do not need any type of food or hay as they are fortunate enough to produce their own hay/haylage.

They would take any tack, rugs, blankets etc but couldn't promise it will be used for their ponies/horses but said they have a tack shop that does really well from the sale of these type of items.

I mentioned HHO and what everyone was doing and she was amazed, grateful, and thanked everybody, really don't think they had a clue at how much is being done.

She said they are a very lucky organisation and get a huge amount of donations for which they are forever grateful and didn't want to appear ungrateful at not being able to take in the things being collected, and would be happy to take in items that if not used, we wouldn't mind them being sold on in their tack shop, which is very busy according to her.

Just thought I'd pass this on.
 
I have also called all of them offering temporary/perm homes for any minis as have capacity at the moment. They obviously cannot release any animals yet, due to health and ownership issues.

Their biggest cost is WAGES!! they need CASH¬!!!! Just pottering off to see if I can set up some event to raise some cash!!
 
She did say obviously that all the newbies will not be rehomed for a very long time as they need a lot of TLC but that if people could rehome their existing horses, that would be a great help.

This was Hall Farm I was speaking to, I had a little look on their website at what needs rehoming, most of them are companions, a few hacks, and a few little ones.

I'm sure there were a couple of shetlands on their website.
 
There are a fair few little 'uns to rehome. If you search for the farm and don't refine the search at all it will show you all the animals at each location.
 
That's brilliant information nijinsky, I will tell Ovidius to look immediately, at this post. I have emailed ILPH but haven't had phone call yet.

This means when we get all the gear, donations, kit etc together and go there, I know now not to take hay, etc but take stuff that can be sold by them.
