​Ongoing Projects 


On this page are details of long-term projects which we hope will come to fruition - if we can obtain
the funds needed to complete them.


A Hospital/Quarantine Area
As we are now taking in so many rescues, a quarantine area would be a great asset, which could also be used for any of our exisiting residents who are unwell. The area would have heat lamps, electricity and professionally installed PVC cladding for hygiene and ease of cleaning. This 'hospital wing' is something we would like to start fund raising for in 2016. Although we don't yet have specific quotes it will probably be in the region of £15,000!

Lighting and Heat Lamps 
For our main donkey barn. Four heat lamps either side of the barn will help to take the chill off the air; donkeys do not like the cold and damp, but love warmth! These will really make the barn much more cosy and comfortable for them. This is estimated to cost between £3500- £4500.

Rubber Stable Matting 
Rubber stable mats are particularly good for horses and donkeys with ‘chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder’ - a breathing problem made worse by dust, which is in hay and straw - the mats are used in conjunction with shavings or compressed wood pellets. This condition can strike a horse or donkey at anytime, particularly if they have been stressed and as they age. These mats cost £30 each... for us to cover 10 stables this would take 60 mats, costing £1800.

In addition to the larger projects, smaller repairs are needed on a weekly basis - fencing, stable doors, walls, paddock gates, painting, water pipes, drinkers, roofing, barn partitions... the list is endless!

All our fundraising and donations currently go directly to the horses and donkeys - for their feed, bedding, veterinary needs and farrier costs. It leaves little for anything else, but well maintained housing and accommodation for the animals is also very important.


Could you help us to complete any of our much needed projects this year? 

Do you know anyone who runs a business that might be able to help us?
