I was saddened to learn of Shane's death yesterday.... at the fantastic age of 51years. Run fast and free big guy...forever young now. Huge condolences to those who gave him such brilliant care and to reach this age and look as well as he did is just testament to their devotion to this grand old man.

Remus Horse Sanctuary specialise in care of the elderly horse and run courses in conjunction with one of the teaching colleges to pass that knowledge on
They are on my list for a donation now and again--their Open Days all seemed to be fraught this year due to weather so could be behind with 'cash'

Oh how sad but what a wonderful age. RIP Shayne xx
I took all my old rugs to Remus last month for them to use or sell. They are always wanting donations as they have regular sales to try and raise funds. I liked the idea of giving to a less well known charity who must struggle to raise the money they need.

Shan, my friend has a donkey who is closing in on 51, if not older. He was rescued 20 years ago when he had retired from giving kids donkey rides on the beach, he was in his twenties or so then...we think...vet has aged him 'around 45 at the youngest, roughly'. Eeyore is gorgeous....love that donk! He is currently teaching Jasper, my friends hand reared colt, how to behave.
