Fundraiser--Help Save Neeka's Vision

December 2025

Our beautiful mare, Ineke fan de Gröenbank, has been diagnosed with a rare Friesian eye disease--Bilateraal Corneal Stromal Loss (BCSL) that has put her vision in both eyes, and potentially the ability to keep her eyes, at risk--even her life. Time is of the essence.

The button below will take you to our GoFundMe campaign where you can learn more about Neeka's circumstance and this devastating condition. Our Sanctuary and expert veterinary teams, informed by the most current research available, are doing everything possible to help Neeka get through this.

Donations of any amount and healing thoughts are most appreciated.

Fundraiser--Girls' Winter Turnout Area

From January 2025

In 2024, with the invaluable support of our Friesian-loving community, we were finally able to provide our Boys' a field shelter and hard-standing to help them through our Lake District seasons. Many of you said it was the Girls' turn in 2025, and we couldn't agree more!

Read more on our GoFundMe page. You can also make a donation of your choice through our Wishlist. With your help, we can accomplish this milestone project and vastly improve quality of life for all our Girls in sanctuary.
