Eleven years ago today, Thelma and Louise arrived at Mane Chance.
A farmer had narrowly avoided hitting them with his vehicle one dark night as they were let loose and dumped on a country road - he managed to get them into one of his fields for safety.
We had been helping by looking after them in his field whilst we got them well enough and ready to travel to us and finally they arrived - they have thrived ever since.
Could we be one step nearer? For many people that visit New York, the sight of the horse-drawn carriages and the demeanour of many of the horses in and around Central Park make your heart sink.
It now appears (due to the death of a human!) that there is enough support that they may finally be outlawed - we would be delighted! Let's keep our fingers crossed for tomorrow when a vote is taking place!

Do you buy gift cards for family and friends as presents? If you do, and you purchase them from the large retailers through Easy Fundraising, we receive a donation too! That's a gift for them but also a gift for us at no extra charge to you.
It's National New Friends Day so the perfect time to introduce you to Buddy - our new resident at Mane Chance.
Buddy was left abandoned so we have offered him a secure home. He had clearly not had his feet trimmed for a long time, teeth checked, was not microchipped etc.
so we are learning all about him from scratch. He is currently in quarantine (usual practice for new horses) and his blood tests are showing an inflammation which we need to resolve before we can integrate him with others (just to keep them all safe).
We are delighted to announce the first two guests that are joining Jenny at our Carols at Christmas event on Sunday 6th December at Godalming Minster.
It is such a special evening and there are more guests to announce over the coming weeks so watch this space! Do come and join us for carols, songs, readings, laughter - not forgetting the mince pies and mulled wine!
Tickets are on sale now - visit our website for more information.

One of our young supporters did something amazing for us recently. Instead of receiving presents for her 10th birthday, she asked people to donate to us.
What an extraordinarily kind thought! Phoenix - we are so touched by your decision to support us instead of receiving presents - you are truly a Mane Chance hero! Thank you to all of your family and friends that donated to us according to your wishes, but mostly a very big
