The Mare and Foal Sanctuary should have everybody’s support!

Thank you all so much for taking an interest and reading my blog! My name is Jasmine and horse welfare is something I feel very strongly about. Not many people are fully aware of a huge issue of horse welfare but I am sure you will be after ready my blog on Stanley who is pictured below I hope that you will understand more how much horse welfare needs to be addressed; and how much the Mare and Foal Sanctuary has helped hundreds of abandoned, maltreated and ill ponies like Stanley.

This is the story of Stanley. He was found in a field in Wales, and not much is known about his past. When he first came to the Mare and Foal Sanctuary he was covered in lice, mud fever, rain scald and was under weight and was shown to be in a lot of pain and discomfort. After several washes, correct treatment, love and care; Stanley is now a young and happy pony who is now enjoying life to the full showing real potential as his character is coming out.

Stanley is still at the Mare and Foal Sanctuary and is living his new life to the highest of standards. This couldn’t have been possible without the amazing work of ‘The Mare and Foal Sanctuary’. Treatment for Stanley was expensive and time consuming but the caring members of staff based in 3 locations with 10 charity shops full of volunteers, but they need more funds to keep the fantastic work they do going!
