CAMPIGN STARTED ON 15-11-2024
LIFE – Lucy Irvine Foundation Europe (an animal rescue organisation in Bulgaria run by British expat Lucy Irvine*) has the unique opportunity to rehome 8 of its rescued horses to a super new home in Italy; a sanctuary where, according to their individual ages and abilities, they will either realise their full potential to become integral to the trekking centre based there, or be retired on site to live out their lives in peaceful security with all welfare issues covered for the rest of their lives.

A FANTASTICALLY LUCKY CHANCE BUT IF THIS IS TO HAPPEN, IT’S GOT TO HAPPEN NOW!
LIFE needs to get these deserving ponies to Italy by Christmas as this window of opportunity will close before 2025 is upon us, and right now the transporter is offering a ‘one-time special offer’ due to his professional relationship with the sanctuary and trekking centre. The centre, ‘The Travelling Menagerie Sanctuary and Rescue’ in Italy, is owned and managed by a long-time supporter of LIFE.

We need to cover every aspect of this move for each individual pony – it’s a significant investment but worth every penny, cent, nickel, and stotinki. Costs include:
Passports, microchips, vaccinations, blood tests, TRACES (movement) paperwork, health certificates, travel via equine transporter, and a short stay in quarantine stables.

This adds up to a total of £6300 / €7500. This is a cracking, never-to-be-repeated deal but needed as a matter of urgency, with an aim to collect at least half of this amount by the end of November 2024 and the balance shortly after.

Ultimately it will not only benefit each pony for its best long-term future but also free up financial obligations at LIFE where the daily struggle is real. Lucy herself admits that she is slowing down, health and age are becoming a factor and all the animals must have their futures considered: offers like this simply must not be passed by!

Each pony will be carefully selected and a short biography of each, including the circumstance of their rescue will be added here shortly, so please keep coming back to keep up to date!
