Zoe
Zoe (goat) Arrived 11th April 2018 A very tiny Zoe was discovered on the side of a road in the countryside by Happy Hooves employee Meg. After surveying the area, Zoe’s mother could not be found. In fact, there were no goats in sight. How this little kid ended up alone on the side of a road is a mystery. Zoe was only days old when she arrived at the sanctuary, and was possibly the smallest little goat we’d seen! Everyone fell in love with her quirky little personality. …
Lulu
Lulu (pig) Arrived 24th March 2018 At 3 weeks old, Lula was found on the side of a road with a fractured tibia in her left rear leg.

Lula made a full recovery, running around Pig…
Goldie
Goldie (horse) Arrived 23rd February 2018 Goldie is a beautiful 21 year old thoroughbred mare.

As the situation became more desperate, and no one offered Goldie a home, we decided to bring her to Happy Hooves while we continued to look for the perfect home for her. Goldie’s teeth were in such bad condition the horse dentist said it may cost thousands to have them fixed.…
