We've got an update on a grant we awarded to the The Hugs Foundation, way back in the day!
In 2019, we gave the charity £20,000 towards a horsebox and boy, has it been put to good use and has an ongoing impact🐴
The rescue said, "We have had 154 equines rehomed since the arrival of our horsebox. All of them have been successfully transported to their new homes in our own box by staff and volunteers. This means we can be physically part of their journey to their new home, offering that support from a familiar face and ensuring the home meets our strict rehoming requirements on delivery. We have had to use the horsebox in emergency situations to quickly take our rescues to veterinary hospitals for life-saving treatment."
The horsebox has allowed them to "facilitate education-based outings to schools, colleges and universities to talk about the incredible work our charity does, but also to advocate for better equine and animal welfare by educating the next generation."
And they attend care and residential homes with some of their well-being ponies. The horsebox allows them to safely transport and attend these visits which spread joy, happiness and a chance to relive memories of Cornwall and horses for the residents.
