Everyone at Shy Lowen is overjoyed at being chosen as the Charity Of The Year again. Personally I can think of no greater honour.
Shy Lowen has it's roots very firmly planted in the ethics of Kelly and Monty so being recognised in this way goes very deep for us.
Our world is one where fairness for horses and people together comes from thinking things through and building bonds of trust both inter- species and each other.
A world where 'violence is never the answer' is a message spread by our large and passionate team of young volunteers. This is in a tough city suburb of Liverpool where only yesterday a young man involved in gang culture was shot less than a mile from the Shy Lowen gates.
Inside the Shy Lowen gates there is safety for the horses, safety for the wildlife and safety for the people. A local newspaper photographer described it as 'an oasis of peace in a mad world'.
It isn't perfect, we have too many horses on too little land. The land is clay so it's very muddy when there is rain, little respite this year with the weather we're having. We don't have any 'labour saving' tractors and things so we move things around ourselves, working in groups to roll big haylage bales into the field everyday etc.
Our horses are happy and loved, we are successful at rehoming them on loan contracts and each individual is treated as an individual with all their physical and mental needs catered for.
So really just to say thank you for choosing to support us again. It really is the most wonderful feeling to have your support. xxx
