In a month of giving what I can locally in this country, I'm glad to also give a little something to this sweet animal sanctuary "across the pond" too. @minisanctuary.bsky.social is worth a follow at the very least!

We have a BIG forage bill to pay 🤯

We rely on these low-sugar forage blocks to keep 2 little laminitic-prone rescue ponies happy in their grass-free space

If there’s anyway you can support us we’d be so grateful for help: www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding...

It’s always a relief when all the animals make it through fireworks night unharmed & happy—unfortunately it’s never just one night, it’s a week of displays

Please sign this petition to lower the volume of fireworks. We have! petition.parliament.uk/petitions/73...

Evening everyone. We’re out checking the animals as it’s fireworks night. We wish they were lowered in volume. They’re killers of animals 🎇
