SIR – With all the disasters and turmoil in the world today, it seems selfish that I am appealing on behalf of horses.

But who will speak on their behalf if not me?

Roleystone Horse Sanctuary in Wrose provides a home for old and unwanted horses and is in desperate need of substantial donations at this time.

Volunteers – especially yard manager Dianne French – work in atrocious conditions to maintain a quality of life for these and other animals.

Please consider making a donation to help these helpless animals. Dianne will accept your donations at Roleystone Horse Sanctuary, 21 Wrose Grove, Wrose, Bradford BD2 1PQ. Thank you.
