The most important misconception was the belief that the abattoirs only existed for people to make money from...

The ERF Commitment to Equines

Posted by on Jun 16, 2011 in Association News | 0 comments

Corran Ard, Leo, Daisy and Dora.

Posted by on Jun 11, 2011 in Association News | 0 comments
Back on the homechecking travels yesterday, and off to see Daisy and Dora. It’s lovely to see how their guardians are so diligent in the way they care for them.

Every evening, they come up the hill and shout for their supper, and are never...
