The Pegasus Sanctuary

The Pegasus Sanctuary Pegasus Sanctuary was founded in 2016 to save equines from slaughter. We rely fully on regular and vital donations to cover feed and essential care.

Now, due to Felicity's poor health, we can only care for the elderly horses and donkeys who remain. Felicity has been rescuing equines at her home in rural Normandy for almost 20 years and in 2016 The Pegasus Sanctuary was created (Association Loi de 1901, RNA W504003253). We rescue and rehome equines destined for the abattoir, and have the aim of increasing awareness of all equines in need and sh

aring the news from the Sanctuary. In addition, we hope to raise much-needed funds to help with the day-to-day running costs. All the horses, ponies and donkeys at the Pegasus Sanctuary have been rescued from the meat trade. Many arrived in a terrible state, and sadly all have been traumatised in some way before they arrived to the safety, care and love offered by Felicity and The Pegasus Sanctuary. There are currently over 30 horses, ponies, donkeys and foals being cared for at the Sanctuary; many of these are available for adoption.

Pegasus Sanctuary Update:
A Rare Morning Meeting. We caught a wonderful, rare moment in the morning sun today—a peaceful breakfast meeting between two of our distinct pasture cliques! As many of our sharp-eyed followers know, Gypsy and Chocolat usually run in completely different social circles. Chocolat is rarely seen without his absolute best friend, Martine the donkey, while Gypsy is usually busy with his fellow pony companions, Subelli and Everard.

But this morning, the call of the fresh green grass brought these two together for a quiet, harmonious moment side-by-side. It’s lovely to see that even though they have their chosen besties, everyone at the sanctuary can still share a peaceful time together (with a watchful canine companion keeping an eye on things in the background!).

Moments like this remind us of the peaceful, safe environment our residents get to enjoy every single day. Whether they are hanging out with their best friends or mingling with the neighbours, they are safe, loved, and thriving.

Thank you to everyone whose generous support allows us to give our rescues the tranquil life they deserve.

Nouvelles du Sanctuaire Pegasus :
Une rare rencontre matinale. Nous avons eu la chance d'assister à un magnifique moment,rare et précieux, sous le soleil matinal : un paisible petit-déjeuner entre deux de nos groupes de poneys bien distincts ! Comme beaucoup de nos observateurs attentifs le savent, Gypsy et Chocolat évoluent habituellement dans des cercles sociaux complètement différents. Chocolat est rarement vu sans sa meilleure amie, Martine l'ânesse, tandis que Gypsy est généralement en compagnie de ses amis poneys, Subelli et Everard.
Mais ce matin, l'appel de l'herbe fraîche et verte a réuni ces deux-là pour un moment de calme et d'harmonie, côte à côte. C'est touchant de voir que, même s'ils ont chacun leur meilleur am tous les pensionnaires du refuge peuvent partager un moment de paix (avec un compagnon canin vigilant qui veille discrètement !).

Des moments comme celui-ci nous rappellent le cadre paisible et sûr dont nos résidents profitent chaque jour.
Qu’ils passent du temps avec leurs meilleurs amis ou qu’ils discutent avec leurs voisins, ils sont en sécurité, aimés et épanouis.

Merci à tous ceux dont le généreux soutien nous permet d'offrir à nos animaux recueillis la vie paisible qu'ils méritent.

Escaping the heat for a moment, Indie loved having a cooling shower this morning - if you're feeling hot yourself, turn the volume up and imagine it's you 😁

Indie prend une do**he rafraîchissante ce matin - si vous avez chaud vous aussi, montez le son et imaginez que c'est vous 😁

May bank holiday as an equestrian:

It is technically spring.

The calendar says spring.

The blossom says spring.

Your horse says, “Excellent, I shall now finish shedding enough hair to stuff a mattress and sweat all over"

But the weather has decided it is July in Spain and everyone on the yard is dressed for three different climates at once.

You arrive in a hoodie because it was chilly at 7am.

By 7:17am you are sweating like you’ve been dragged through a cross-country course backwards.

By 9am your hair is stuck to your face, your sports bra has become a medieval torture device, and you are trying to decide whether hosing yourself down would be inappropriate or standing thigh deep in the water trough.......

The horses, meanwhile, are either:

🐴 standing in the shade looking betrayed by the suns rays
🐴 rolling in the dust until they look abandoned and dishevelled
🐴 refusing to drink the clean water you lovingly provided
🐴 drinking from the one bucket that contains hay, flies, and some bird s**t.
🐴 losing winter coat in great clumps like a haunted teddy bear
🐴 pretending they have never seen a fly mask before

You had plans.

You thought, “Lovely bank holiday. I’ll have a nice ride" - no no no its like Satan's A- Hole out there!!!!!!!!

Instead, you spend three hours:

☀️ checking water
☀️ applying fly spray to an animal determined to not have it applies.
☀️ removing hair from places hair should not be because ..... sweat.
☀️ debating whether it is too hot to ride
☀️ deciding it is too hot to ride
☀️ feeling guilty for not riding ( always a firm fave )
☀️ remembering you ride for fun and not as part of some medieval loyalty oath
☀️ eating a 12 ice lollies in the tack room like they're going to hydrate you......

Then someone says, “Lovely weather, isn’t it?”

And you nod politely, while wearing boots, leggings, a vest top, hay in your bra, and the facial expression of a woman who has just carried 80 litres of water across a field because “they looked a bit thirsty.”

Spring bank holiday with horses.

Beautiful.

Peaceful.

Character-building.

Slightly crispy. 😂🐴☀️
