Here is a letter written on behalf of The Horse Refuge by Heather McCartney
Please allow me to introduce myself. I am Paul & Linda McCartney’s eldest daughter Heather.
In the southeast of England there is a truly wonderful sanctuary where no living creature, wild or cared for, faces persecution. It is named “The Horse Refuge” although all animals are welcomed. It is run by Sara Ross who began this project with a few battered, physically and mentally abused ponies. Some have overwhelming marks and scars that are to brutal to explain here.
Not only is the Refuge home to the Europe’s tallest Shire horse “Duke” it is also the refuge for many survivors of terrible cruelty. For example, “Fly-by-Night” who, as a foal, was rescued at the moment he was about to be thrown alive into an open grave.
Each of the forty horses at the Refuge has an equally horrific story.
I believe that no other sanctuary is able to care for them in the same skilful way, as Sara has painstakingly regained their trust over many years.
Now all is about to change for the worse.
The land that the Refuge is homed on is being put up for sale, Sara and her horses face eviction unless funds can be raised to purchase the land and guarantee their futures. It will be impossible to finance this from local community resources alone.
These forty magnificent horses potentially face slaughter.
If their home cannot be secured their fate cannot be secured.
This is why we need you.
The asking price for the land, bungalow and stables is £600,000.
Time is short too. This amount needs to be raised by the end of January 2010!
We are asking for your help to raise this total through individual donations.
As you may know, my family has a long history of involvement in animal welfare.
Never before have I witnessed such a unique sanctuary as The Horse Refuge.
Thank you for reading. Please, please act now.
Sincerely
Heather L McCartney
