Shy Lowen is sited on a former illegal dump and so we face many challenges with managing the land and making it the haven we promised our horses.
Remember that the horses pay back every bit of help they've had with their work in our local urban community providing wonderful, positive activity for all ages.
To continue our work we currently need:-
624 large round bales of haylage every year = £16848
1040 x 20kg sacks of pony cubes every year = £ 6552
Straw and shavings for bedding every year = £ 2860
Vet fees for this year circa = £ 6000
Farrier every year = £ 3900
Muck removal every year = £ 2400
And to make life easier and reduce other costs we'd love to have
Reliable horse transport - trailers or lorrys
A tractor with loader, roller and harrow
All weather facilities for training our horses and people
Grass in our fields - they are clay and so need good drainage.....
Sheep hurdles/portable pens for when we take ponies off site to events
Wheel barrows, tools of all sorts, tack and equipment
Paving slabs so we can have a nice clean yard
Rubber matting for our 36 sq metre stables - there are 8
A gear box for our old Renault Dodge 50 horsebox
An electricity supply - we currently have generator power and so far 3 have been stolen
24 hour security
And most of all we'd like to continue receiving your support.
Please tell everyone you know about Shy Lowen
