Significant events
- “Our welfare response remained central to the charity's mission throughout the year, removing equines from danger and suffering. Early in 2025, our teams were deployed to support the rescue of five abandoned equines, later referred to as the Valentine's Group.”
- “One of the most notable welfare interventions occurred in April, when a critical red bag delivery at Oakham Veterinary Hospital led to the emergency birth of foal Tonks. Thanks to swift veterinary action and coordinated support, both mare and foal survived against significant odds, exemplifying the high stakes nature and lifesaving impact of our welfare work.”
- “In March, we partnered with Nottinghamshire Police to enhance the management and safety of loose horses across the county. This initiative introduced innovative QR coded headcollars, providing attending officers with immediate access to welfare guidance and contact information, thereby supporting timely and informed decision making.”
- “Later in the year, our collaborative efforts expanded into Wales, where joint work with several partner charities to improve welfare conditions for herds on the Gelligaer and Merthyr common resulted in five additional ponies being brought into our care.”
- “Recognition on a national scale came through two prestigious NEWC awards: Team of the Year for the Appleby Logistics group and the President's Award for individual excellence, affirming our leadership in welfare standards.”
