In August 2022 we were called out on many occasions to help catch 3 donkeys wandering the country lanes. It’s amazing they didn’t cause an accident or get hurt. They were shy, scared of people, and just ran off whenever we approached them. The mayors of two communes were involved in trying to safeguard the […]
Darling Maggie and little Mabel arrived at HeeHaws with Betty and Florence in June 2021. Headed for the meat wagon they were intercepted thankfully and came here, to a place of love and safety. Mabel was only 5 when she arrived at HeeHaws, she was such a quiet, sweet soul. It turns out that with
Little Mabel arrived here on the 7th of June 2021 with her friend Maggie (we are not sure if they’re related) and 2 others, Betty and Florence. All were headed for the meat lorry. That just doesn’t bear thinking about. Mabel was only 5 at the time and such a quiet sweet soul. It turns
Lottie and Wilfred came to HeeHaws with their friends Norman and Hector, in February 2019, having had a very close call with the “meat man”. They had had a traumatic time and were all fearful in their own way. Wilfred didn’t like anyone to touch his legs and feet. Gareth spent a long time getting

In December 2019 Holly and her foal Caspar, and their friends Angel and Cracker were a sorry sight indeed.

They were then spotted by a couple of
Holly came to Heehaws in January 2019 with her baby Caspar, and their friends Angel and Cracker. Holly was in a terrible state, suffering from extreme neglect. She was very underweight, full of worms, and had bad rain scald. The vet said they were lucky they were rescued when they were or they would have
What can we say, this bundle of lively opinionated fluff arrived here at HeeHaws in August with her mum Blossom. She was born on May 18th, 2022 so was only 4 months old. She was dark brown when she arrived but is rapidly turning grey, like her sister Violet and half-brother Basil. Fast-forward to March
Fern arrived here with Woody on the 17th February 2022. They had been found abandoned in a forest. A couple of young girls helped them and found them temporary accommodation. After contacting many other rescue organisations without any success or even replies, they contacted us. The situation was now desperate and we felt we had
Blossom arrived here in August 2022 with her 4 and-1/2-month-old foal, Harley. Blossom was one of a herd of 5, living in a state of general neglect. The original owner had left her partner and for over a year he hadn’t taken care of them. The fencing where they were had come down and 3
