One vital food supplement that the majority of our animals must have available to them, summer and winter alike, are salt mineral blocks. These provide essential minerals to keep them in good health. If they are not available, animals tend to lick soil to get these naturally. In the case of horses, this can be very harmful, as licking the ground can cause them to ingest sand which, in turn, can easily cause them to suffer colic due to a build up of sand in their stomachs. So, as you can imagine, with SO many animals in our care, we purchase vast amounts of these blocks (£10 each) by the pallet load!
With these mineral blocks in mind, we have been gradually changing our old-style, often primitive, way of hanging the blocks on string and ropes to a more secure, block saving purpose-built holder. So, we are just in the process of ordering 500 more, and, yes, you read this correctly, we really do need all these to supply the many stables, shelters, barns and paddocks where our animals live. Because we ordered so many, we have acquired them at the special price of £5 each instead of the usual £10 each.
If you would like to donate £5 to help us provide all our animals with these new money-saving holders, or help towards the cost of the mineral salt blocks (£10 each)
