Jack Spratt and Miss Nolen are real foodies with a conoisseur’s eye on ingredients – ‘is this organic?‘ responsibly sourced?’ ‘locally produced?’ No cans of pre-shaped mush for them and this is just as it should be. Natural, fresh food, where you know the ingredients, is best. We made them an Easter Cake, it didn’t […]
Mini pony Ruby has been in the sanctuary for nine years, when she was rescued she was in foal and eventually gave birth to a beautiful daughter, who we called Daydream. Horses are in foal for 11 months and it seems to go on forever! Ruby is the sweetest little pony lady ever, we have […]
Daydream was born at the sanctuary and is Ruby’s much loved daughter. Her mum idolizes her and Daydream can’t do anything wrong where Ruby is concerned. Not that Daydream ever does anything out of place anyway, her name suits her and she is easy going and laid back, even as a foal she was always […]
It’s now nearly two years since Pete, one of the sanctuary founders, passed away and it is his birthday this month on 5th April. While we will never forget him, the animals also seem to remember this wonderful and kind man who cared for them with so much devotion. Pete was very much ‘in tune’ […]

She may look a bit wild but this foundation mare in our mini pony club is as gentle as they come. Chloe had a dreadful start in life and was tied up without food or water when we first saw her. She was emaciated and had no milk to feed the little foal at her […]

Thanks to organiser Julie Eley (shown here with mum) and to all the ADR team who so kindly helped out at our Easter Fair yesterday. Thanks also to everyone who came and supported us and enjoyed the event – although it was a fine day and we didn’t get the footfall we had hoped for. […]
