Gibson

Orphaned foal Gibson has grown into a playful and mischievous horse!

Gibson's story

Hey, nice to meet you!

My name is Gibson and I live at Redwings Mountains in Angus, Scotland. Did you know my full name is Gibson Fraser and I'm named after the late founder of Mountains Animal Sanctuary, Alan Fraser? What an honour!

If it wasn't for the Sanctuary, I'm not sure what would have happened to me. I came here when I was just two days old in 2014 after my mum sadly passed away. Unfortunately, my owners were unable to provide the 24-hour care a newborn foal needs so turned to the Sanctuary for help which welcomed me with open arms. To help me learn the ways of becoming a horse, I was taken under the wing (or perhaps that should be hoof?!) of my foster mum, Maggie, and foster dad, Nico. Thanks to everyone's efforts, I grew into a very happy and playful chap, and I love to share my tales of mischief with my supporters!

Rumpel

Terrified Rumpel would shake at the merest touch when first rescued, but look at him now!

Rumpel's story

Hey, nice to meet you!

My name is Rumpel and I live at Redwings Oxhill in Warwickshire. I've come a long way since the day I first arrived at the Sanctuary in 2008. I was so petrified, that I would try to hide in a corner and shake anytime someone tried to touch me.

I was rescued from the horrors of Spindle Farm in Amersham when I was just six months old. Over 100 horses, ponies and donkeys were found living in appalling conditions with no food or water. Sadly many had passed away before their plight was discovered. I had never experienced how kind humans could be before so I was terrified when I first came to Redwings. Thanks to the TLC from the vets and carers, I overcame my terrible ordeal to become a friendly and confident pony - and a Redwings Adoption Star!

Noah

Handsome Noah is one marvellous mule!

Noah's story

Hey there, I'm Noah!

Looking at me, you may be wondering if I'm a donkey or a pony. Well, I'm actually both! I'm a mule which means my mum was a pony and my dad was a donkey. I share characteristics from both breeds and love the company of both too!

I arrived at Redwings in 2010 with my Shetland pony companion. Our owner had sadly been struggling to look after us and could no longer provide the care we needed. Redwings was kind enough to open its doors and I now live at the charity's Caldecott visitor centre with a herd of other ponies and mules! You can spot me because my dark chocolate coat really shines in the summer sun.

Sampson

Mini but mighty Shetland pony Sampson loves nothing more than a cuddle!

Sampson's story

Hey, nice to meet you!

Hi there, my name is Sampson and I’m a Shetland pony living at Redwings Caldecott in Norfolk. My favourite thing in the world is a lovely groom so you will often find me by my paddock fence enjoying lots of cuddles, pats and scratches from my visitors.

I came to Redwings in 2004 when I was just one year old. I was suffering from a nasty respiratory disease called strangles, which was making me very ill. My owner could not provide the specialist treatment I needed and was so worried for my health that she asked Redwings if they could offer me a home. Thanks to lots of TLC from the vets at the Sanctuary, I made a full recovery!

Lily

Adorable Lily loves meeting new people and a good fuss!

Lily's story

Hi there, I'm Lily!

I'm a pretty dapple grey pony living at Redwings Caldecott in Norfolk. I love people; in fact, I was once considered a candidate for the Redwings rehoming scheme but some on-going problems with my hooves meant I couldn't continue my training.

That's ok though because at a visitor centre I get to meet new people all the time! I originally came to Redwings with two companions from another organisation because they were struggling to find homes for us. The Sanctuary was able to offer us a home together and ensure our futures were secured. I feel like the luckiest pony in the world!

The Gangsters

A group of cuddly miniature Shetlands who love to cause mischief!

The Gangsters's story

Hey there, we're The Gangsters!

Our names are Reggie, Ronnie, Patch, Fred and Baby Face Nelson. We're five adorable miniature Shetlands ponies, but don't be fooled! Just like our name suggests, we're known for getting up to all kinds of mischievous antics. Hee hee!

When our owner sadly passed away in 2011, Redwings offered to give us a new home so we could all stay together. At the request of our owner's family, we were all named after famous Gangsters! We love to cause havoc together - and usually get away with it because we look so cute! But although we like to act tough, we're really softies underneath it all and adore cuddles from our fans.

Esther

Rescued at just two months old, a truly special little donkey who became a national symbol of hope after the Amersham rescue.

Esther's story

Hi there, I'm Esther!

I live in the big donkey herd at Redwings Caldecott and love to meet my visitors. My life didn't start off so blissfully however; I was the youngest survivor of the Amersham rescue in 2008, one of the largest cases of animal neglect the UK had ever seen at that time.

I was just two months old when rescuers discovered me and over 100 horses, ponies and donkeys living in appalling conditions at Spindle Farm in Amersham. Sadly, many of my friends had already passed away. My poor mum Martha was so thin she couldn't even produce enough milk to feed me. I was taken to Redwings but was so weak I had to be carried off the horsebox. When news broke of the rescue, people around the country wanted to help and I became the face of a national fundraising campaign and a symbol of hope for the recovery of all the animals affected. Thanks to the generosity of supporters, me and my mum made a full recovery.

While I can still be a little shy because of my experiences, I absolutely adore a cuddle and will often cheekily ask for a bottom scratch - my favourite!

Elvis

You can't help falling in love with gorgeous pony Elvis!

Elvis's story

Hey guys, I'm Elvis!

As you may have guessed from the name, I'm the resident rock 'n' roll pony of Redwings Ada Cole in Essex, known for my perfect quiff and love of the spotlight.

However, I didn't always have a flock of adoring fans lined up for autographs! I was one of a group of ponies rescued from south Wales in 2011. Our elderly owner was struggling to look after us and we were becoming very thin and poorly. Once at the Sanctuary, we were named after an Elvis theme and I was honoured to be given the headline name - obviously, because I'm the most handsome (I'm also very modest, if you can tell!). I have some problems with my eyesight but it doesn't stop me trotting along to the fence and saying hello to my supporters.

Maya

Maya is a stunning horse known as Redwings' very own 'Black Beauty'!

Maya's story

Hey my friend, nice to meet you!

My name is Maya and I’m a beautiful black Friesian horse. Did you know at Redwings I'm known as the Sanctuary's very own 'Black Beauty'? Just like the character from the book, I've made it through adversity to find a new and happy life.

I came to Redwings in 2010 with six other horses having been discovered in terrible condition. Very sadly, one of my friends had already passed away from the neglect they had endured. My former owner was found guilty of causing suffering and we were signed over into the loving care of the Sanctuary. I was very hungry, anaemic and was struggling with muscle wastage, but thanks to the TLC from the vets and carers, I made a full recovery and became a Redwings Adoption Star!

Wiggins and Wacko

Now they've found each other, Wiggins and Wacko will never be lonely again.

Wiggins and Wacko's story

Hey there! We're Wiggins (and Wacko)!

Wacko and I are best friends having arrived at Redwings just two days apart! We were both terribly lonely but, thanks to our carers who introduced us to each other, we will never be alone again.

I had been abandoned by my owner on a livery yard and the landowner was doing their best to care for me. When they began to struggle, they approached Redwings for help. It was around the time of a certain Olympic cyclist winning medals at London 2012, hence my name! Meanwhile, poor Wacko was living alone with just his owner for company after the yard where he had been staying was forced to close. Donkeys need friends - we can become sick without friendship - and so Wacko was offered a home at Redwings. The team here thought we might get on....and the rest is history!

We live in a small herd of donkeys at Redwings Aylsham in Norfolk where we enjoy cuddles from our visitors, lots of love from our carers, and the odd ginger biscuit or two. Yum!

Minnie

Adorable donkey Minnie is a lovely lassie who is always first to the fence to say hello!

Minnie's story

Hi my friend!

My name is Minnie and I'm an adorable donkey (if I do say so myself) living at Redwings Mountains in Angus, Scotland. I'm the matriarch of the large donkey herd here and make it my mission to welcome every visitor who drops by.

I came to Mountains Animal Sanctuary in 2011 (before it had merged with Redwings) having been rescued from Ireland with my foal Mouse, who still lives with me today and is never far from my side. We have a large field here, with our very own sandpits and beautiful trees which provide us with shade and great scratching pads - it's donkey heaven!

Location: Mountains, Scotland

Height: 9hh

Breed: Donkey

Dotty

Unable to walk due to overgrown hooves, gorgeous spotty Dotty will never be in pain again.

Dotty's story

Hi my friend, I'm Dotty!

Can you guess why I was named Dotty? It's because my beautiful coat is covered in lots of spots. Also, because I can be a little dotty! There's nothing I like better than running around, playing games with donkey friends and saying hello to my lovely supporters!

Sadly, there was once a time when I wasn't able to enjoy a good trot around my paddock. I was discovered in 2018 with incredibly overgrown hooves that were causing me extreme pain. I could barely walk! Sadly, my discomfort could have easily been prevented if my owner had allowed me to regularly see a farrier for hoof trims. Now safe at Redwings, my hooves are kept in tip top condition and I never have to worry about being in pain again.

Tinkerbell

Tiny Tinkerbell was born at Redwings after her mum survived horrific neglect.

Tinkerbell's story

Hi my friend, nice to meet you!

My name is Tinkerbell and I’m a super cute miniature Shetland pony living at Redwings Ada Cole in Essex. Do you know I have a party trick? Sometimes I roll over and ask my carers to tickle my tummy! Hee hee!

I'm one of the lucky ones because I was born at Redwings and have never experienced the suffering some of my friends had to face before finding safety at the Sanctuary, just like my mum Elsie. She was one of many ponies, horses and donkeys rescued from appalling squalor at Spindle Farm, Amersham, in 2008. The animals living there were starving and diseased, and many had already passed away. My mum was in foal and was taken to Redwings just in time to give birth to me. Because of her neglect I was very poorly when I was born, but I happily pulled through thanks to the care of the wonderful vets here who never gave up on me.

Arya

With her super fluffy coat and long ears, it's hard not to fall in love with adorable donkey Arya!

Arya's story

Nice to meet you, I'm Arya!

I'm a very fluffy, mischievous donkey who loves to play with my friends in my paddock at Redwings Oxhill. My favourite toy to play with is a welly boot, especially if it contains some yummy treats, like carrots!

My carers tell me I'm very special because my mum Millie was a purebred Poitou donkey - a very rare breed of which there are only 400 left in the world! Very sadly my mum passed away from severe lameness issues when I was just a few months old. We had just arrived at Redwings with our fellow donkey friends Adel and Merlin, and my carers took great care of me and helped me through my grief. Just like my namesake Arya Stark, from the fantasy series Game of Thrones, I was very brave and overcame my sadness to flourish into the happy and playful donkey I am today.

Victoria

A beautiful horse born at Redwings after her mum was discovered living in appalling conditions.

Victoria's story

Hey my friend! My name is Victoria!

I was born at Redwings just a few weeks after my poor mum was rescued by the RSPCA, along with several other horses, all in an appalling condition. At 22 years old, Mayfair was the oldest of the group, but despite her advancing years she still managed to carry a healthy foal - that's me!

Thanks to the love of my carers, I grew up to become a very beautiful and friendly mare (or so I've been told, hee hee!). I love the company of my two-legged friends but, because my mum was so malnourished when she was rescued, I will never be strong enough to be rehomed. However, thanks to the kindness of my adopters, I live a very happy and healthy life here at the Sanctuary, surrounded by friends.

Lady

Lady is a beautiful and friendly gentle giant who adores cuddles.

Lady's story

Hey down there, I'm Lady!

I said "down there" because I'm a tall and very large Shire horse! I live at Redwings Oxhill in Warwickshire in a small herd of Shires - you can probably see us from the visitor centre entrance!

I was just a year old when I arrived at Redwings in 2017 alongside 18 other Shire horses. We had been left to fly-graze (that is grazing on land without the landowner's permission) on a site in Kidderminster. When our owner didn't come forward, the landowner used powers under the law to find a new home for us and called Redwings. In the end, several charities came together in a 15-hour operation to round us up and safely transport us away. Six of the group, including myself, were taken to the Sanctuary. I've grown up to become a friendly and confident young horse (if I do say so myself!) and was given the grand honour of becoming an Adoption Star!

Did you know there is one fool-proof way of telling me apart from my Shire friends? I have a heart-shaped marking on my right hind leg!

Timothy and Cain

Timothy and Cain are best friends and always causing havoc!

Timothy and Cain's story

Hi there! We're Timothy and Cain!

We're two best long-eared friends who were born at Redwings within days of each other and have stuck together ever since! Our mums, Mary and Leah, were rescued from Spindle Farm in Amersham, Buckinghamshire. Over 100 horses, ponies and donkeys were rescued from dreadful conditions at the farm where they had been cruelly kept without food, water or shelter.

Luckily our mums found safety at Redwings and I, Timothy, was born the day after the rescue while Cain came along just a few days later. I still need extra special care because I have a delicate tummy that sometimes gets upset. This doesn't stop me playing lots of games and getting up to mischief with my best pal Cain, as well as having lots of cuddles with our fans.

Fox

Stunning Shire Cross Fox is a real gent!

Fox's story

Hi my friend, I'm Fox!

Well, I say my name is Fox. My full name is actually Foxy Four Socks, but let's keep that as a secret between you and me!

As you can see, I'm a large Shire Cross living at Redwings Caldecott in Norfolk, but please don't be intimidated by my size. I'm a real gent and like to lower my head over the fence so my visitors can give me a nice scratch and a cuddle. I came to Redwings in 2010 as part of a large group of horses when I was just a few months old. My owner had sadly passed away and no one was able to look after us. Since arriving at the Sanctuary, some of my friends have found new homes through the charity's rehoming scheme, but I have a condition which means I experience stiffness in my legs from time-to-time and need to be kept a close eye on by the vets. It's very hard to mind when I have a lovely paddock to enjoy, plenty of friends and all the food, water and love I need right here.

Monarch

Miraculous Monarch was born at Redwings after his mum was hit by a lorry.

Monarch's story

Hi my friend, I'm Monarch!

I'm the new kid on the block with royal connections. Let me explain...

I was named in honour of the late Queen Elizabeth's Platinum Jubilee having been born at Redwings in April 2022. My carers even wrote a letter to the Queen to tell them all about me and she replied to say how happy she was! My poor mum Majesty had come to the Sanctuary after being hit by a lorry. While recovering from her injuries, she gave birth to me and luckily I was ok.

We're now both doing well, and I'm growing taller and taller every day. I'll be towering over my mum in no time! Although I currently don't live at a Redwings visitor centre, my carers thought it would be a nice idea to announce me as a new Adoption Star to mark the Coronation of King Charles in May 2023. That way, my amazing adopters will be able to support my specialist care and training, and follow me as I grow up!

Zippy

Stunning Zippy survived the horrors of Spindle Farm and found love at Redwings.

Zippy's story

Hey there, I'm Zippy!

I'm a very handsome Gelderlander horse living at Redwings Ada Cole in Essex. I'm told my chestnut colouring looks beautiful in the sunshine so I love to 'zip' around my field to show off to my visitors, carers and, of course, my girlfriend Cupid who I live with.

Life wasn't always so much fun for me however. I was rescued from the horrors of Spindle Farm in Amersham in 2008. This was one of the largest equine rescue operations to take place in the UK at the time after animal welfare officers found over 100 horses, ponies and donkeys living in terrible conditions. I was extremely hungry and very weak.

Despite this very sad start, I thrived at Redwings and became a favourite among visitors to the Sanctuary. My love for interacting with visitors - and receiving lots of soothing scratches and cuddles - soon saw me become an Adoption Star!

Pickle

Pickle is a super friendly girl who doesn't let her visual impairment slow her down!

Pickle's story

Hi there! My name's Pickle!

You may notice something slightly different about me compared to most of the other ponies at Redwings - I only have one eye! But please don't worry, I cope perfectly with just one eye and live a very happy and fulfilled life. Let me explain what happened...

I came to the Sanctuary in 2022 after a kind person phoned up the Redwings team, having seen a young pony with an injured eye - that was me! A Field Officer visited me and it was clear that I needed immediate help, so she advised my owner to seek veterinary attention. Sadly, my owner was not able to provide the help I needed so she agreed to sign me over to Redwings.

As well as a severely injured eye, the Redwings' vets also discovered I was suffering from a heavy worm burden which was making me feel very weak and unwell. Apparently my health was in a 'pickle' and that's how I got my name! Thanks to the hard work of the vets, I soon recovered but sadly my eye was continuing to cause me a lot of pain so the decision was made to remove it to end the discomfort it was causing me.

Now I feel much better, have loads of energy and can't wait to meet all my wonderful adopters!
