Last weekends storm and heavy rain has caused an equine charity to shut one of its rescue and rehoming centres until further notice.The wet weather led to flash flooding at World Horse Welfares Glenda Spooner Farm which damaged fields and affected the ground floor of two bungalows used as accommodation for grooms, as well as the Visitor Centre.The flood water is still running through the fields at the 200-acre Somerset site, where 90 of the charitys equine residents graze.Fortunately, all horses and staff have emerged unscathed and are doing well.Flooding has affected the Visitors Centre and grooms accommodationCouldnt be prouderDespite everything, our grooms have really pulled together to make sure all the horses are cared for, and their needs met, said farm manager Claire Dickie.They have really embraced the joy of life with it all and I couldnt be prouder of everyone.The flash flood on Sunday really took us by surprise and has wiped out the Visitor Centre for the foreseeable future.The clean-up operation is underway, but the charity currently cannot say how long the site will be closed for.We have received so many messages of support and offers of help, and I cant thank everyone enough it has been such a morale boost to know so many people care about us and want to make sure we are all okay, said Claire.The video below shows two of the charitys horses being led through the running flood water: Horses unfazedAs for the horses they are all doing well and I think its just been like any other wet, winters day for them. Many are out in the fields and dont even use their shelters being perfectly happy to weather the storm and get on with it as they always do.Glenda Spooner Farm is one of World Horse Welfares four rescue and rehoming centres. The others Belwade Farm in Aberdeenshire, Hall Farm in Norfolk and Penny Farm in Blackpool are unaffected and are operating as normal.Updates on when the farm will reopen will be made of the charitys Facebook page.
