Redwings Believes That No Horse Deserves Abandonment

Thank you very much for taking an interest in opening my Blog, I’m Ellie and  I am raising awareness for Redwings Horse Sanctuary which is the largest horse sanctuary in the UK. Many horses are treated unfairly in the UK and this must be stopped. I want people to have a better understanding on how horses can be poorly treated and by supporting Redwings, hundreds of horses can be saved.

I think that you should support my chosen charity because:

  • In Winter alone, 3,000 horses die from causes of neglect and slaughter in the UK
  • Redwings can care and treat hundreds of unappreciated horses
  • Redwings Horse Sanctuary’s work is funded solely by YOUR donations
  • A small donation can save a horses life.
In summer 2004, Redwings rescued 72 horses from Lincolnshire. The horses had had no human interaction or they had been traumatized by negative experiences. Despite the difficulties, they were safely brought to Redwings. Among the 72 horses was one named Mayfair who, when Redwings first  saved her, was thin, had overgrown hooves and had hardly any hair. Over a year after, even though Mayfair was elderly, she gave birth to a healthy foal named Victoria who is now on the adoption scheme. This shows how much work Redwings put into saving these horses, and their work definitely pays off.

 If you are ever interested in Prize draws, Redwings host seasonal draws and all the money you pay goes to the charity. See the Redwings website for more details: http://www.redwings.org.uk/

Again, thank you very much for reading my Blog, it would mean a lot if you could please post your response to a few questions and also general feedback!

  • Have you ever heard of Redwings before?
  • Have I informed you more about Redwings Horse Sanctuary?
  • Would you now consider:
  1. Donating to Redwings?
  2. Participating in Prize Draws to donate more money?
  3. Tell family and friends about Redwings and persuade them to donate
Thank you SO much for taking your time to read my Blog, if you need any further information about Redwings just visit their website (hyperlink above). If you could tell me your home town/country if not from the UK in the comments once you have answered my questions.

THANK YOU!
