Jenny

Born in 2015
15hh
Standardbred Trotter

Jenny came to us at just two years old after being very cruely treated by a previous owner. It seems likely that Jenny had been made to pull a cart while she was far too young. When we first saw her she was extremely frightened and had a lot of deep whip marks on her neck and back. She also had injuries to her neck, legs, and hips. After many month of love and patience, Jenny has come a long way and has made a wonderful recovery. Click here to read Jenny’s full before and after story.

Toby was abandoned in someone’s garden in the middle of winter. He had been left tied up for three days when we were contacted. He was very thin and in poor condition, so we brought him back to the sanctuary for some love and proper care. Although he came to us in a sorry state, he is looking beautiful today.
