Para 1.20	We have rescued over 20 horses and ponies this year due to Covid it has been a difficult year. All of which would not have survived without the charity’s intervention. We run and continue to run a castration program for feral ponies that are on local commons. This prevents indiscriminate breeding and suffering of these animals. We engage with the community to educate and encourage them to participate in animal welfare and rescue. We rehabilitate and rehome where possible. We have adults with special needs that come to enjoy the therapeutic benefit of being with the horses and ponies.
