Nutmeg, a donkey, gave birth to a healthy filly named Saffron. Unfortunately Nutmeg did not have any maternal instinct and refused to let the foal suckle, therefore we had to take over and feed Saffron 2 hourly throughout the day and night. Thanks to my partner and friends who lent us a caravan so we could camp overnight. Also very special thanks to RBH and the car park attendants who assisted during this difficult period.

Very sadly we lost Cinders in August. She developed intermittent colic and eventually to prevent further suffering, the decision was made to put her to sleep. (On a personal note - thanks Nenad for all you did for her)

Hercules did not respond to conservative treatment for the sarcoid tumour in his ear and had to undergo major surgery to remove the tumour. He was checked thoroughly for other tumours and luckily all tests came back clear. He is now fully recovered.  

Coco, a goat, developed a large lump on her ear that started to irritated her. This has also been successfully removed.
