🌸 May at the Sanctuary: Gentle Moments and Grateful Hearts

‍
While May didn’t bring dramatic changes, it was full of quiet, meaningful moments that reminded us why this work matters. From birthday celebrations to calming therapies and sunny-day grooming, life at the sanctuary has been ticking along in the best way.

👐 Holistic Healing for Our Herd
We were lucky to welcome Rebecca from Elevate Holistic Therapies to our Heswall site this month. She treated some of our horses, ponies, and even our donkey to a relaxing massage — and judging by their dreamy faces, they absolutely loved it.

Her visit was a gift of time and knowledge, and we’re so thankful. She’ll be back again soon, and we know the herd will be more than ready for another round of pampering.

🎂 Happy Birthday, Minnie
Sweet Minnie turned eight this month, and we made sure she felt all the love. She’s brought so much joy to the sanctuary over the years, and it was lovely to mark the day with her. Happy birthday, Minnie!

🧹 A Good Groom for Tink
Little old Tink enjoyed a well-earned grooming session after looking especially shaggy. At this time of year, their coats can shed unevenly, leaving them looking a bit patchwork. But give him a few weeks and he’ll be showing off his glossy summer coat with pride.

☀️ Quiet Days, Full Hearts
Sometimes it’s the calm, slow moments that speak the loudest — the gentle grooming, the birthday cuddles, the simple acts of care. That’s what May has been full of, and we’re grateful for every second.

Thank you, as always, for being part of our journey and supporting what we do.
