Equine Welfare Centre Reopens
to the Public |
Glenda Spooner Farm, the ILPH (International
League for the Protection of Horses) Recovery and Rehabilitation Centre, at
Hoarwithy, nr Hereford will be re-opening its doors to the public on Saturday
30 June, subject to any new cases of foot and mouth in the area.
The equine welfare centre has been closed to
the public since the restrictions on the movement of livestock were imposed at
the beginning of the foot and mouth outbreak.

Comments Dee White, Centre Manager, "We
are very pleased that there have been no new cases of foot and mouth in the
surrounding area since the end of April, which has allowed us to reopen again
after a four month closure.
"Not only does it mean that we will be
able to welcome the public through our doors once again, but horses and ponies
that are ready to go to their loan homes will go out, thus freeing valuable
space for new welfare cases."
Entry to Glenda Spooner Farm is free and the
public are invited to come and see the rescued horses and ponies, watch the
antics of Satin the new born foal and to visit the gift shop.
The Centre is open Saturdays and Wednesday
from 11 am – 4 pm.
