URGENT APPEAL BY FOUNDER, LESLEY COOPER

We approach winter 2007/ 2008 with gratitude to all our loaners and sponsors over the years that have given the most wonderful homes to our horses, dogs and livestock.

In the past year we have seen sadness where owners have died but then joy when the owners horses have gone to new futures which is exactly what she wanted for them.

This is a scenario that is and has been repeated regularly for many years and one we are happy to bear the weight of in order that someone can leave this world in peace and that animals can have a future.

We take in animals for all sorts of reasons and sadly this involves occasionally involves neglected animals. This requires a lot of our resources both food, time and medically in order that we can save the animal and give it a future.

Right now there is just Debbie and I here working with animals and we both have to work full time as well as keeping everything ticking over.

This brings me to our appeal this year which is the only way sanctuaries like us can keep going without shutting our doors to animals in desperate need.

This year we need to raise £5000 for food and costs just for the winter alone. With the best will in the world and with working hard to rehome most of those horses here, we will still be inundated with abandoned horses or those who owners have reached a desperate point in their own lives. These are not horses that we can ask people to come back with in Spring because these horses will be dead. these are horses who the vet or licensed slaughtermen have been booked to kill. Its the same with dogs. We try to refer on but there are always some whom the grim reaper tries to grab and we have to grab back. Often these animals are here for a long time and need funding.

Please help us help these animals

In between everything else that has to and does happen here at Trallwm Farm Lesley finds time to be involved in a book series called Dog tales and Horse tales. These books have been published for several years now and tell the stories of some of the Trallwm Farm animals as well as touching stories from all over the world of much loved animals.

The latest two books are now available to purchase via Trallwm Farm and will help us fund the farm.

Animal Update

We now have our first goat in some time. Bonnie is a bit spoiled and is having to learn how to deal with dogs. She also had to learn how to compete with various birds for her food. As you can see from her photo, she already has her own apartment and guard dog!

We rescued 4 turkeys from a rearing farm, they were tiny 9 week old babies destined fro xmas dinner! They have grown huge already and are very funny. Myrtle the old nanny turkey has tried vainly to teach them to behave but they are really not listening.

Two ducks we thought had probably died have reappeared and are very noisy. We are relieved they are back. Ed the male turkey is king of the farmyard and currently arguing with the cockerel. Mud seems to be everywhere and the tractor is broken making feeding very hard work. Bales have to be carried out across several acres of pasture. Hard work and it will only get worse.
