Pauline Ashcroft is a wonderful woman. In June 2015 she gathered over 30 friends and members from a local ladies group to host a horse-filled coffee morning to promote the work of Redwings and of course do some fundraising!

The attendees (who included Guardian pony Herbie, who Pauline has rehomed from Redwings) donated over £100, plus a car full of items for us to sell to raise more!

We were also there to provide a presentation about some of the horses we have rescued, and demonstrate how to carry out a health check on a horse in a loan home, of which Herbie was the star of course!

Pauline said, “Herbie was a right little show off, his character has just grown and grown. I thought he would be fazed by the limelight, but he lapped it up, bless him. I am so happy it went off so well. Best wishes to all at Redwings, keep up the good work.” We will try Pauline, we promise!
