The Horses!

The sanctuary is also the home of a small group of equines. There is Nikki the cob, Omar the pony and Jan, the white donkey.

Jan has lived with us since October 1990, he was only 1 year of age when he came. He was and is full of mischief which include his favorite hobby called "Bum Biting or Nipping", our farrier has been the subject of him practicing it many a time over the years. Jan is very sociable, loves his carrots, his apples, his daily 2 slices of white bread and he is a faithful companion to Nikki and Omar.

Nikki is our handsome white and red cob. He didn't have the best start in life and for a long time he did not trust people. Slowly but surely though, he learned that people only wanted him well and that there was no need to be afraid anymore. Nikki is a big boy who, as well as his friends, loves his daily treats.

Omar is a beautiful chestnut pony who came to us from Maynooth a few years ago. His previous home was a riding school where he was known as "Grandpa". He has now retired to our sanctuary and goes by the more suitable name of "Omar". Omar loves feeding times and because of his age, he always gets that litle bit extra to keep him going.

Sponsoring Jan, or any of the other horses costs 50 euro for one year.
