A TEMPORARY crisis is building up at the Only Foals and Horses Sanctuary, Oswaldtwistle.

We have more horses than stables and are currently advertising for buildings to rent for the stables overflow from October onwards.

Any other arrangements will be considered, such as part-livery, but there is no question of foals and horses being housed out individually.

The present crisis is only temporary until other arrangements are finalised in the new year.

Running costs are expected to start escalating beyond the present £2,000 needed weekly and more fund-raisers, supporters, groups and company sponsors are invited to get in touch.

All the animals at the sanctuary can be adopted from as little as £10 per year and we are open for visitors every day between 1pm and 4pm.
