We currently have 35 horses and ponies at the sanctuary, along with a number of beautiful donkeys rescued from the continent. In addition, we have cows, sheep, pigs, rabbits, chinchillas and various other small animals, as well as cats and dogs. The Flicka Foundation was, for ten years, a non-profit making organisation. In 2007 we gained charitable status, which should help us in our fund-raising efforts. For most of our income, we have tried to be self-funding, with our horse riding lessons and two mobile holiday homes, but it just isn’t enough. Every year we do lots of fund raising, such as sponsored walks, coffee mornings, cheese & wine evenings, raffles and a couple of very successful concerts. 2007 also saw us doing an abseil down the cliffs on the north coast of Cornwall … !

All animals deserve a chance  – whilst there is so much cruelty in this world to people as well as animals, the reality is that it’s possible to care about more than one issue at a time. We mustn’t assume that a capacity for compassion is dependant on mutual exclusitivity.
