Littlehill is home to a herd of about 20 horses, ponies and one donkey, Diarmuid. Most of the ponies were cruelty cases, some tied up in yards, others found abandoned. We have several ex-racehorses, which were dumped after sustaining injuries on the track or in training, and the owners didn’t want the expense of treating and rehabilitating them, so they came to us. Diarmuid donkey was found straying, and despite our best efforts, we were unable to find out who owned him, so his home is here at the sanctuary now.
For fear of upsetting people, we won’t go into details about the appalling cruelty some of these animals have endured, but they are all now happy and healthy, living the dream on the lovely green fields of the sanctuary. In winter, they have access to a very large barn, with as much hay as they can eat, with additional grain feed for those who need it.
Littlehill equines are not available for adoption, but we would be delighted with offers of sponsorship for any of our horses or ponies.
