Animals, ‘are gifted with extensions of the senses we have lost…living by voices we shall never hear. They are not underlings, they are other nations’ Henry Beston

Sometimes you love something so much, you can’t just eat it, you have to wear it as well! Our rescue sheep Cardigan loves everything about hay! Here she’s demonstrating its many fabulous qualities! #spotthesheep @minisanctuary.bsky.social

Happy Easter Saturday from Bertie, our rescue sheep. He’s sweet, affectionate and likes to be involved in everything!
He looks thrilled to be featured on the pages of my book, A Horse Called Now.’ We sell copies in our Animal Sanctuary Shop @minisanctuary.bsky.social 👇

Horses have almost 360-degree vision, so they can more readily spot predators. They can hear other heartbeats from 1.2metres away. Their super-senses make them hyper-aware of their environment & also of the energy & spirit of those around them. It’s a privilege to be accepted into their space.

When there’s chaos all around, find that still place inside that you can call home…I try to share mindful thoughts with children in my books. This spread is from ‘Songs for Our Sons’
