Mr Trickster


This poor little chap has been with us for a couple of days and is pathetically grateful that he is now being looked after. A kind lady had saved him from going for meat money (not that he is carrying any meat on him) - and hadn't realised how painfully thin he was and asked us to help. We went to see him on Tuesday and within two or three hours he was at Greatwood.
Richard our remarkable vet has, as usual, pulled out all the stops to try and get him well again and we have just received the blood test results, good in one way, in that there doesn't seem to be any organ damage but he has a hefty worm burden which will have to be dealt with carefully.
We will keep you updated as to his progress.

Sunshine & Donkeys

The new arrival of two donkeys has been greeted with glee. Jack and Simon are great little chaps, they have been with us for a week and have settled in really well. Many of our racehorses seem only mildly interested, however the big bold Sunshine Boy has been reduced to a trembling wreck on two occasions, we wonder if he'll ever get used to them!
