Significant events
- “Our long-awaited onsite equine hospital has finally moved from dream to reality over the past year. The Lonely and Primrose Hospital, named after two of our much-loved and never forgotten rescued donkeys, represents a huge milestone for the sanctuary.”
- “The 31st August 2025 marked another significant milestone for us as we celebrated 30 years of rescue, rehabilitation and sanctuary care. Founded in 1995 by Mary Berryman following the rescue of a small abandoned pony named Flicka, our charity was born from Mary's compassion, kindness and determination to help vulnerable equines in need.”
- “An inevitable and deeply painful part of rescue and sanctuary care is saying goodbye to cherished members of our Flicka Family. We lost a number of very special souls during 2024/2025.”
- “We rescued 19 donkeys in the 12 months from August 31st 2024.”
