Help us give these foals a shelter for the winter

Hi there,

We are The Foals; our names are Biscuit, Biscoff, Cookie, Bambi, Teddy and Otis and are the latest recruits to Silverbirch Animal Therapy Farm.

Through no fault of our own, we have found ourselves homeless. We are fortunate in that Nikki Birch, owner of Silverbirch Animal Therapy Farm, has taken us in and given us a loving home.

We need lots of love and attention right now as we adjust to our new environment. We were scared at first but have gradually settled in by enjoying many cuddles and love from the employees and volunteers at the Therapy Farm.

The long-term plan is for us to grow up here and become part of the therapy herd of horses and ponies that work here. We are very excited at this prospect and even though we are young, we know how much comfort and confidence we can give to help humans who may be feeling lonely, vulnerable and confused - a bit like us when we first arrived here.

As we were an unexpected arrival, certain equipment needs to be purchased for when we grow bigger. At the moment, we need help with food, fencing our field and a shelter. We appreciate any donations you can give us and even the smallest amount helps.

If you do donate you will automatically become a ‘Friend of the Foals’ and we will keep you up to date with our progress.

Thank you for your time

The Foals.
