A month-old semi-feral foal found alone next to her deceased dam has been rescued by Redwings Horse Sanctuary. The filly has been named Ruby by the charity, in reference to its 40th anniversary this year.Ruby arrived at the sanctuarys Horse Hospital in Norfolk last Thursday (27 June) and has been receiving round-the-clock care from the in-house vet and teams. She was introduced to a potential foster mum, Cilla, over the weekend.Cilla has been a foster mum several times before and is showing a healthy interest in little Ruby, said Nic de Brauwere, Head of Welfare and Behaviour at Redwings.The two of them can see and touch each other day and night, and already we can see a huge change in Rubys demeanour from nervous to much more confident, with her seeking Cilla out when she is unsure or simply wanting company.We have a lot of experience of dealing with semi feral ponies here at Redwings so shes in the very best of hands. Once she and Cilla are a strong pair, well look to introduce her to some similar-age youngsters to grow up and play with.Taking on a foal in these circumstances is a big commitment and were so grateful that weve been able to do that thanks to the kind and generous support of our #RedwingsAngels.None of the work we do here at Redwings is possible without donations, which we never take for granted, and, if you are able to donate towards the care of Ruby and the other horses, ponies, donkeys and mules at our Sanctuary, wed be so grateful.Staff from across all Redwings departments are giving their time by volunteering to do the most antisocial shift of the day Rubys 3am feeds which shell need for at least the next three weeks, to support their colleagues and ease the burden on charity resources. Were blown away by the wonderful gesture which shows the kind of people were lucky enough to have here.To contribute towards the care of Ruby and her equine companions at Redwings, click here.Further readingHorse Hospital team complete triathlon in aid of RedwingsMare rescued with foal at foot keeps sanctuary staff on their toesI trust her 100%: Rescued pony shines at Royal Bath & West ShowThe post Month-old foal rescued after bring found alone next to deceased dam appeared first on Your Horse.
