WINTER APPEAL FOR HOPE PASTURES
In winter our feed and bedding bills treble as there is no grass for the horses to eat so their diet has to be supplemented with hay throughout the Autumn and Winter. The animals are stabled meaning more clean, dry bedding is needed and the older horses need lots of special feed to keep them happy and healthy through the cold weather. Some of our horses need warm waterproof coats to protect them from the elements and these coats regularly need cleaning and repairing.
The cost of painkillers to ease arthritis for an old horse costs us 60p per day and we use 50 per week.
A sack of carrots delivered costs us £1 and we use one sack per day.
A sack of pony nuts costs us £6 and we use 5 per week.
A sack of chopped hay, fed to the horses with little or no teeth, costs us £8 and we use 4 per week.
For a horse's hooves to be trimmed and balanced by our farrier is £15 costing us £375 every 8 weeks.
Winter straw costs us £50 per week and shavings bedding for horses with dust allergies cost us £30 per week
A new waterproof horse coat costs us between £60-£100. To have the coat repaired, re-waterproofed and cleaned costs us approx £20.
Transport to collect a needy horse or donkey costs us a minimum of £50 per journey.

Feeding the animals
We kindly request that you do not feed the animals as this causes fighting and unnecessary stress within the herd. You are more than welcome to bring food for the animals and leave it in the box provided and we will ensure that it is given at feeding times. Thank you for your understanding and co-operation.

Money for nothing
Most people buy things on-line these days, whether it's Amazon, Ebay or one of hundreds of other on-line suppliers. For those of you who don't know,if you buy your presents through /www.spendandraise.com/HopePastures/ it will link to 100's of your favorite sites. Every purchase you make earns money for the sanctuary, without costing you a penny more. Just think, if we made, say 2%, on every purchase our supporters made on-line how much animal feed and bedding that would buy ?

Days gone by
We are wanting to put together a short history about the Hope Pastures site on Weetwood Lane, going back to when it was a farm long before the days it became a sanctuary. If you have any old photos, maps etc that we could use please could you drop us a line at phtrust@fsmail.net or post to:
