Happy 32th Birthday Minstral![]()

This beautiful mare with amazing head markings was found dumped in a field in Braintree. Her stomach was extremely swollen due to being bred from too much and her Linear Alba was torn causing what is effectively, a massive rupture.![]()

When Minstral came in we felt that we would not have her for long but we were determined to do the best we could for her, 10years later she is still going strong. She lives in a paddock on her own but with other horses around her so that she has company but can’t be kicked or chased. She is very distrusting of other horses, most likely as a result of the overbreeding. ![]()

In 2016 a badly ulcerated eye just would not clear up and with Veterinary advice the decision was taken to remove her eye after it ruptured. Thanks to the care and expertise of our Veterinary Surgeon Mark Murrell, the Animal Health Trust and the dedicated nursing from our lovely staff she came through this trauma very well and copes wonderfully well with just one eye.![]()
