Autumn Newsletter 2 2006 - Redwings

welfare is at the very heartof what we believe in!5WELFAREt CasesWhen the case was heard in June, Norwich magistrates were satisfied thatthey did regret the suffering they had caused their horse. The couple werefined and told that they could only have their animals back if they drasticallyimproved the environment they provided for them. Following a successfulhome inspection, Redwings staff took this lovely pair back to their new, saferfield. The horses will be checked regularly to ensure that their welfare does notsuffer again in the future.Joined UpThinkingA stray mare collected from the Norwich innerring road one evening proved more than we hadbargained for when she gave birth to a beautifulfoal just four hours later. Everyone was just sorelieved that she was not left to have her foal atthe roadside. Both mum and baby were returnedto an extremely grateful owner once they hadrecovered from their ordeal.Working in partnership makes abig difference to animal welfareprojects and Redwings is pleasedto have entered into a formalcontract with Norfolk police toensure the swift and safe removalof stray equines from public roads.Stray equines are an ongoingcause of concern. It is inevitablethat animals will occasionally escape and wander onto public roadways. Thedanger they pose to themselves and other road users means that they needto be removed as a matter of urgency. Police have direct responsibility for roadsafety and will remove any dangerous hazard. But without the resources andexpertise available to remove the equine to an appropriate place of safety,many police officers have little option but to put the animal in the nearestavailable field, regardless of what else is in the field.This lovely mare was found five miles from thepaddock she had escaped from, exhausted andwith several nasty cuts on her legs. Redwingswas not only able to transport her to safety, butour vet had treated and bandaged her woundsby the time her owner came forward.By working together, the police will try and contact the owner of a strayequine, whilst Redwings staff use their expertise to transport the equine to aplace where it can be cared for until the owner is found.Although many equine charities do assist the police with stray equines roundthe country, this formal contract is believed to be the first of its kind. It shouldensure the consistent safety of equines, police and public. The cost ofmobilising the Redwings’ team will be recouped through a charge made to theowner by the police. If no owner is found, after a few weeks the animal can belegally signed over to Redwings by the police to be permanently cared for.Pictured above are Nic de Brauwere of Redwings, Sue Ansell and PC Gary Crowther of Norfolk Police.Bliss’s owner never came forward to claim her.After several months of TLC at Redwings, Blisswas ready to be re-homed and is enjoying life tothe full in a caring Guardian home.

6WELFARERecent RescuesRedwings has brought more than 100 horses, ponies, donkeys and mules in needinto our care so far this year. Some are fit and healthy and will eventually be able toenjoy life in a guardian home under Redwings’ Re-homing Scheme. Others are olderor have more complex needs and will retire into the permanent care of the Sanctuary.Samson and DelilahIn March a mare and foal were found abandoned in Hertfordshire. The RSPCA attended and found a Shetland mare,since named Delilah (left), tied to a fence outside an area of farmland. She was secured with an ill-fitting tether rope thathad cut into her skin over a number of months, causing a deep flesh wound. Delilah had a very young black and whitefoal at foot who they named Samson (right). With the help of Redwings’ Field Officer in Essex both ponies weretransported to Redwings Ada Cole Rescue Stables.JayJay, a handsome Clydesdale, arrived at Redwingsfollowing a horrific ordeal in which a wire noose was putround his tongue to restrain him and he was castratedwithout anaesthetic by someone completely unqualifiedto do so. He was found a couple of weeks later,dehydrated and starving due to being unable to eat ordrink because of the injury to his tongue. The site of hiscastration was horribly infected and he was covered inmites. Some areas of his body were so affected by mitesthat they had caused open sores which had becomeinfested with maggots. To make matters worse, he was ina field of about 20 horses who had not accepted him intotheir herd and his body was covered with bites.Jay was discovered and rescued by a lady who knew hewas in a very poor state, but it was several weeks beforeshe and her vet realised the extent of his suffering andDespite appeals by the RSPCA for the owner to comeforward, no one claimed the ponies and they were signedover into Redwings permanent care. Delilah’s wound hashealed perfectly and she proved such a friendly soul thatit was no trouble to find her a guardian home through ourRe-homing Scheme. Now weaned and independent, littleSamson is a cheeky little chap. He initially suffered a littlestiffness through his back legs, but is now also enjoyinglife with his own foster family.the specialist care he will need for the rest of his life.Jay’s owner contacted Redwings on the recommendationof her vet.The most moving aspect of Jay’s story is that despitethe pain that he has endured at human hands, heremains a trusting, affectionate horse who loves people.There are few horses more deserving of a happyretirement at Redwings than Jay.

7WELFAREWelfare in briefThe new Animal Welfare Bill is progressing well through the parliamentary processthat all new legislation has to go through before it becomes law. At the time of writing, weare waiting to hear which date has been set for the report stage in the House of Lords…It is likely that the Bill will become law sometime in 2007.Redwings recently expanded its range of equine welfareleaflets by exploring behavioural problems and basic feedingprinciples in two new issues: ‘Horses Behaving Badly’ and ‘Food forThought’. Both leaflets can be viewed and downloaded from theRedwings website or picked up at our visitor centres. They can also beposted; if you would like any or all of our welfare leaflets sent to you,please send a stamped, self-addressed A5 envelope to the WelfareTeam at Redwings, Hapton, Norfolk NR15 1SP.When Redwings pulled out all the stops to catch two looseponies in Essex who desperately needed to have their feet trimmed, localresidents were not the only people to watch us in action. The rescue operationwas filmed by a television crew and is due to be shown on AnimalPlanet early in 2007.Some of you may remember a feature in our Spring 2004newsletter about a horse rescued when she was found givingcarriage rides on Great Yarmouth seafront whilst clearly lame. The mare,Schnapps, was originally re-homed by the RSPCA to a caring home asa companion, but when her owner very sadly died unexpectedly,Redwings was pleased to offer Schnapps a permanent retirementhome. At 15 years old, Schnapps still struggles with her shoulderproblem and she has more than earned a happy retirement!Redwings’ Scenes Calendar for 2007 has a powerful welfare theme.Every month shows rescued equines enjoying life at the Sanctuary and isaccompanied by a caption with a brief summary of their story. The calendar isjust £3.99 and helps support our equine welfare work.In June this year, Redwings was pleased to be able to contribute to thewelfare of hundreds of horses by sending our Welfare Veterinary Surgeon,Nic, to monitor and treat equines at the world famous Appleby HorseFair. The week long fair is held in Cumbria each year and is attended bytravellers from all over Britain and Ireland. For more information on Nic’sactivities at Appleby visit the Welfare section of the Redwings’ website atwww.redwings.co.uk/welfare.A691NEW LOOK A4 2007Redwings ScenesCalendar.

8YEAR OF EQUINE WELFAREIOU APPEALIO is a healthy, happy 4 year old miniatureShetland. But though her story has ahappy ending the early chapters of Io’sshort life do not make such easy reading.Until recently Io was in intense pain,suffering from hind limb lameness (HLL).HLL is a crippling disease and it meantthat she was under constant surveillanceand had to have pain-killing antiinflammatorydrugs every day.Then she had an operation, and now sheis free of pain for the first time in her life.But the operation – a surgical arthrodesiaof her near hind leg – was both complicatedand expensive because she had tobe sent to a vet with special equipment inNewmarket for the surgery.Please help us to offer otherequines the same kind oftreatment which Io received -only here at Redwings. Weestimate that at least 10Redwings horses and ponieswould benefit from theequipment each year. That’s 20of our own equines given a newlease of life by Christmas 2008!Please look out for our IOUAppeal this Christmas! (that’s IOpronounced i-o, see story left).Our IOU Christmas Appeal...- will help our horses and ponies - the appeal will fundequipment to reduce their suffering by diagnosing and treatinglameness faster. Also our equines need not endure long journeysbefore and after surgery.- will help the veterinary centre staff at Redwings - it will savemoney to treat our equines with our own equipment instead ofsending them away to specialist veterinary practices.- will help you, our much valued supporters - it will meanthat we can make more us of the donations you give us bytreating equines faster and saving money to spend on helpingin other areas.Re-homing Many Happy returns to theGuardianship SchemeIt is only a year since the Parklands Re-homing Centre wasestablished at Redwings’ headquarters at Hapton in Norfolk. At theend of summer 2005, Re-homing Manager Emma Lacey hadassembled her team of five new members of staff and was settlingin to the newly created facilities for the guardianship project - tenstables, half a dozen small paddocks and an outdoor arena. Theteam members have made an extremely successful start - at thetime of writing, they have found new guardians for 53 horses and

9RE-HOMINGponies. This is in addition to over 400 equines whichRedwings Ada Cole Rescue Stables has already rehomedfrom their established Re-homing Centre.Emma said “It’s hard work but we enjoy it becauseit’s so varied. First we take suitable equines and givethem training and education so that we can be surethey’ll end up safe to ride or as good companions.Then we have to assess a number of families to findthe best guardian for our horse or pony. It’s workingwith both horses and people that makes our jobs soenjoyable”.Training and EducationTraining horses and ponies before their release toprivate homes can take anything between two weeksand four months. Here are three recent success stories.Raven (top) is a 10-12 yr old 11hh bay Exmoor crosswho spent nine weeks at the Parklands Re-homingCentre before leaving in July to go to his new homeonly three miles from Hapton. He is being ridden byseveral members of his new guardian family includingmum and eldest daughter. Because they lived close bythey were able to get to know Raven before his releaseand he has settled in to his new home really well.Bliss (centre) is a 13.2hh 5 yr old bay pony. Before shewas re-homed she was both head-shy and very wary oftraffic as she had been found in the middle of a busyroad when she was rescued! She was also a littleoverweight. After four months of gentle treatment sheis more confident on the road and safe to ride. Her newguardian family have a collection of all-pink matchingaccessories for her and their little girl is enjoying ridinglessons. Bliss is still inclined to try to eat too much –she always asks for more when she finishes what’s inher feed bucket!Thyme (below) is a Welshblue roan, rescued fromthe Welsh Commons in2004. She spent aboutten weeks with ourParklands Re-homingTeam where she wassuccessfully backedbefore going to her newhome. Her two youngguardians have alreadytaken her to a competitionwhere she gained quite areputation. At her firstevent Thyme camesecond in the showjumpingcompetition andwon second prettiestpony in show! Her newfamily wrote to say –‘Thank you so much forThyme, she is a star, andwe love her so much’.Perfect PartnersBecause some of the horses and ponies we select for re-homing may have beenill-treated or only recently backed, we are really looking for experienced carers totake on the responsibility of looking after them. We give you lots of help andadvice of course, but we are seeking guardians that will continue a pony’straining and education. If you are considering finding your perfect partner in aRedwings’ horse, please use our website. Just visit www.redwings.co.uk andclick on ‘guardianship scheme’ and then ‘find your perfect partner’.

At just 50p aticket they are an inexpensiveway to help, but the funds raisedcan make a very big difference.Little Io came to Redwings as partof a herd of Miniature Shetlands that were running wild onprivate land. The group had got out of control and as a result ofindiscriminate breeding there were many pregnant mares andfoals. Io’s mum, Demeter, was pregnant when rescued andgave birth to Io a couple of months after arriving at Redwings.However, as many of the herd had interbred, lots of the foalshad birth defects and problems and Io was born with severeHind Limb Lameness.We took her to a specialist vet in Newmarket for an operation tocure her lameness (see page 8). Now, we hope to be able toraise enough money to purchase the equipmentneeded to carry out this surgery ourselves in thefuture and every draw ticket you sell will gotowards helping more ponies like Io towards abrighter, healthier future.Note: Please help keep our administration costs down by lettingus know if you do not require us to send you tickets in thefuture, or if we are writing to someone under 16 years of age, asminors cannot purchase tickets.Io meets Toby her new friend atHapton where they both live - seepage 8 for Io’s story

14Fundraisers...FUNDRAISINGPicture courtesy of Chatsworth Press AgencyFantastic FundraiserLynn Healey and her friend Diane Steadman, a Shire Horse owner,organised a fun day at Culgaith, near Penrith, Cumbria in aid of RedwingsHorse Sanctuary and the Shire Horse Society. Redwings had previouslygiven a caring, safe home to Bruno, a pony which Lynn, an inexperiencedhorse owner at the time, had bought from a dealer and who turned out to bea severe welfare case. Lynn wanted to organise something in the memory ofher much loved Bruno as well as raising awareness of the Shire Horse breedand the work of Redwings.Although the weather was pretty appalling, the afternoon began with a parade of Shire Horses, followed by a fun ponyshow for the children, Shire Horse dray rides, horse harnessing demonstrations, an equine art stall and a variety of otherstalls. The afternoon was a resounding success and Lynn was able to hand over the fantastic sum of £508.50 to RedwingsHorse Sanctuary. Pictured above is Lynn with Wee Archie (not so wee now) with his owner Willie Bennett. Wee Archie isanother pony Redwings was able to help by finding him a loving caring home with Willie in Ayrshire.Fit FundraiserJohn Braybrook of Shefford in Bedfordshire raised £512 for Redwings. John, amember of the Territorial Army Paratroopers, ran up and down the ‘Paps of Fife’,otherwise known as the Lomond Hills. Not only did he do the 11km run in arecord time of 1hr and 56mins, but he also did it with a Bergan on his back; aBergan being a large rucksack weighing 25kg. John brought his fiancé Gaynorand her son Kyle to Caldecott Visitor Centre to present Linda Kerr, RedwingsCommunity Fundraising Officer, with the cheque and for Gaynor to meet heradoption horse, Darcey. As you can see Darcey was determined to get in on theact and did her best to give Kyle a friendly nibble on the ear.Fun FundraiserPony loving Charamel Prentice (left) aged 11 years, from Whissendine, gave up awhole day of her Easter Holidays for a Sponsored Tack Clean in aid of Redwings.Charamel raised £106.50 by cleaning five bridles and saddles at the Stretton RidingStables where she has lessons. Charamel loves everything about horses, even downto the mucking out, and this was her way of helping all the horses, ponies, donkeysand mules at Redwings Horse Sanctuary. She also wants to be able to have her own stables oneday. Redwings says a BIG THANK YOU to Charamel and hopes she gets her wish.Joanne Waterman (right) aged 10 years, from London, had the wonderful idea of doing asponsored dressage. For someone so young this was no easy task. She rode two ponies - on Blueshe took 1st place, even though Blue was in a ‘bad mood’ and tried to unsaddle her - she also took4th place on Raffles. Joanne raised £98 for Redwings Horse Sanctuary and has adopted Misfit theminiature Shetland from Ada Cole. THANK YOU AND WELL DONE JOANNE.A BIG THANK YOU from all the Redwings staff and equines goes to everyone who has given uptheir time, used enormous amounts of energy, spent days and hours planning their events andraised fantastic sums of money for the Sanctuary.
