I thought I would let you all know about a Horse/Donkey Sanctuary I have found that is in need of help.  I know a lot of us already assist with Horse rescue in the Uk - and it is a worthwhile cause BUT I wonder how many of you have ever considered the health and welfare of horses/donkeys outside of the UK.

In Gambia where I go to on holiday horses and donkeys are used to do a job.  Pleasure does not come into it.  The animals in some cases are not very well looked after but a lot of the time this is due to ignorance not deliberate cruelty.  Education is what is needed.

I would like you all to take a look at the work of an English woman and her colleagues in the Gambia and let me know if you can help.

It does not have to be with money.  The Sanctuary are very short of equipment e.g. Head Collars, Lead ropes, Snaffle bits.

If you have any old 4" or 4.5" snaffles or pony or Cob head collars etc., please bring them to one of our competitions and I will arrange for them to be sent to the Sanctuary.

Please take a look at the website link - you will see just what a brilliant job they are doing!!!!!  http://www.gambiahorseanddonkey.org.uk/
