"Bransby Home of Rest for Horses has pulled out all the stops to care for 30 abandoned ponies who were in urgent need of good food, routine care and a safe home.
The group of young cobs arrived at Bransby on 13th January after local authority officers authorised their removal from a site in South Wales. The ponies were successfully transported and accommodated in a joint operation by a number of charities who came together to secure the future of these neglected youngsters including Redwings, Horseworld, the Donkey Sanctuary, the Blue Cross and World Horse Welfare.
Bransby agreed to take on the largest group from the rescue, despite the Charity already being very stretched over the winter months. Bransbys Head of Equine Operations, Philip York, explains Rescue work is not only about taking animals out of an environment of cruelty or neglect, it also means being able to bring them back to health and provide them with a secure future, with all the knowledge, time and expense that involves. Although it is a huge investment, we are totally committed to giving these lovely ponies the new life they need.
Every one of Bransbys 30 new arrivals will receive much needed attention, including worming, farriery and veterinary assessment. As a feral group, the ponies also will require specialist handling to help them establish a positive relationship with their carers and enable them to benefit from life in a domestic environment. Taking on feral ponies is a particular area of expertise and Bransby is one of a limited number of organisations around the UK that has the specialist experience and facilities needed to rehabilitate these challenging equines.
Times are tough for charities in the present climate, but staff at Bransby are working extremely hard to ensure that these delightful ponies can finally receive all the care and kindness they have been denied for so long.
Please help us to help these very special horses. If you would like to make a donation please click the donate online button at the top of the page or alternatively pick up the phone and call 01427 788464. Your help is greatly appreciated."
