Did you know that horses do not have collar bones?

This allows the shoulder blades to 'float' providing amazing flexibility, shock absorption and a longer stride, which is essential for running, jumping and turning.

This unique skeletal adaptation therefore places greater stress on the muscles, tendons and joints, making welfare checks of these areas paramount when caring for a horse. #ManeChanceSanctuary #RescueHorses #HorseFact #EquineWelfare #AnimalCharity #Surrey

We are thrilled to be hosting Exercising Kindness for a talk and tea next Sunday. Raising money for both us and Safe Haven for Donkeys, it is set to be a lovely event.

We love self-selection here at Mane Chance. This is a buffet station, in which the buckets contain different waters - today we had chamomile, beetroot and turmeric flavours.

The station allows the horses to approach at will, have a sniff and/or taste and choose what they would like to have. It's fascinating to see which they choose and really good for them to process the different smells and tastes.

Chamomile is calming, both in mind and body (digestion), turmeric aids joint mobility and beetroot is high in vitamins/minerals and great for red blood cell production - plus it's a great nose dye of course!

Can we reach our target, do you think? We are so grateful for all your donations towards our hay appeal following the summer drought when we were forced to feed our winter hay to the horses as there was no grass for them.

We have already received one delivery to replace our stocks which was a very welcome sight - thank you! But that hay will only last us a couple of months and it would be amazing to know that more was on the way.....
