Bristol based animal welfare charity HorseWorld are appealing to anyone who may have land they can use to cut hay from this summer.

HorseWorld works to rescue, rehabilitate and rehome horses, ponies and donkeys that have been cruelly treated, abandoned, neglected or have nowhere else to go. The charity relies completely on the generosity of the public to continue this work. "We have record numbers of horses needing our help at the moment. To help them we need the funds to do so.

We cannot cut costs with things like vet bills or anything that would jeopardize the quality of care we give the animals but if we can cut our own hay, it will free up funds to use for other aspects of the animals care." Said Equine Husbandry Manager, Joanne Vaughn.

The charity in Whitchurch has over 150 rescued horses, ponies and donkeys to feed and the rising cost of hay has become a real problem. Welfare Manager, Jerry Watkins explains “We would be looking for a minimum of about four acres within about 15 miles of Whitchurch.

We will arrange harvesting and haulage. The land should have reasonable access to allow the passage of our tractors and implements. This would be an ideal opportunity for someone who has land that would benefit from being cut but does not want the hassle of doing it themselves At the same time, they will be helping horses, ponies and donkeys in need"

If you have land that HorseWorld could use to har- vest Hay, please call Amy on 01275 893033. To find out more about HorseWorld visit www.horseworld.org.uk
