One of the main aims we have is for our animals to bond with each other. It can take a lot of planning to work out which horses will go together. Horses will naturally pair bond for life and so once our animals have settled in and made friends we do not give them the stress of going to new homes where they have to start the process again.

This works for us but more important it works for our animals
