Title: ex batts - devon
Post by: horsemadmummy on February 08, 2011, 04:02:00 pm: anyone know who our nearest rescue organisation would be keen to get another 5 asap.

we got our last lot from buckinghamshire before we relocated in 2009 when our girls all came too! we've lost a few over the years and are keen to get a few more.

Good luck :chook:
