IHRP is awarded Charitable status!!!

2/9/2020

0 Comments

 
It is with great pleasure that I make this announcement.

IHRP HAS RECEIVED CHARITABLE STATUS !!!!!

The decision to apply was not taken lightly, It was actually done 2 years ago (but Carrie got sick in the middle and everything got put on hold) and it has been a lot of work ( well- paperwork- but thats harder for us than mucking out the yard!) but for us to provide the best possible care for the horses and ponies in the programme, it was the best option.

After IHRP was set up in 2014, It has run as a non profit organisation. We have relied on the adoption donations, on the very generous support of our supporters (when our back was to the wall and we put out a plea) and the kind support of the Department of Agriculture. But it was always a hand to mouth stressful situation. The saddest time I think in the last few years was having to say no to a recent plea to save a group of horses- the funds just were not there.
​
With this new status, we can now directly fundraise- with many different options to do so- watch this space !! We have a smashing team of trustees, and loads of ideas. Over the coming weeks we will be putting a fundraising pack together- so if you have any ideas and want to run something- please get in touch!

New foals born in IHRP!

5/21/2017

0 Comments

 
Its that time of year again! Foals are now being born to mares saved from slaughter in the pound! As I see them take their first breaths, I am so emotional when I think how different it might have been for them. If it was not for IHRP they would never have taken a breath at all- they would have smothered in utero as their mothers died. But alive and kicking are these lucky ones! Colts for Arlene and Dorcas, and a filly for Dora. I,m still waiting on Dulciebella to foal, and hopefully that will be soon and they can all grow together!

New baby born in IHRP!  Cleopatra had a healthy filly!

Baby Daniela is a week old today so its time she had an album of her own! Our first baby born 
in IHRP this year makes her special- but what makes her very, very, special is the fact that she has been saved twice already so to speak! The first time was when we saved her mum from a bullet in the pound- Baby Dani, in utero, would have smothered over hours! That day gave her a chance at life! The second time she was saved was when she arrived into the world last Wednesday- Her young mother had no milk, so the emergency colostrum was pulled out of the freezer and our very good friends in Kildangan Stud gave us another bottle of the live saver! So now she is a bonny baby girl, 1 week old and bouncing around and full of fun!

First baby saved from slaughter to be born in IHRP!

5/4/2015

IHRP Briar Rose was due to be shot last Monday!
She foaled with a beautiful filly foal on Wednesday! That little baby would have slowly suffocated inside her dead mother, 2 days before she was due to be born! This is not the fault of the pound- they have to do a job or we would be over run with neglected and abandoned horses, but something is seriously wrong with this country and its horse owners to even let this young mare get into this condition, be in foal, and be so uncompliant with the law that she was impounded!

IHRP has gone international!     IHRP Anita in Italy!

4/8/2015

IHRP Anita, a yearling cob filly, has been rehomed through the programme to Italy! Anita was one of 5 very young cob foals, dumped and left to die. As soon as they were picked up by the pound it was obvious they were not going to survive without special nursing care, so they came straight into us.
Nearly a year later, the gorgeous blue eyed Anita was spotted on the website by Elisa in Italy, and offered a home! She travelled well and has totally adjusted to life in a new country! We wish IHRP Anita and her new owner, Elisa, the very best for the future!

UPDATE ON THE KILKENNY TROTTER! SAVED BY IHRP!

11/30/2014

0 Comments

 
I,m sure you are all wondering about her! She has been named IHRP Arial ( which actually means Gods Lion!)
Ariel is doing well considering her awful start in life! She is only a year old, and was getting the mother of all beatings, late at night, on a main street in Kilkenny! She was being made to pull a sulky, but she was not strong enough! The fact that she had a full set of shoes on her baby feet meant she couldn,t even get a grip on the wet road, and was beaten all the more! But we are confident that the brute who nearly killed Arial will be brought to justice!
Arial was then sent to the pound to face a certain death. IHRP had a plea for help from a member of the public and we secured the release of the filly after a few nail biting days! It is always at the discretion of the Local Authority if they will release for rehoming!
Arial wasn,t strong enough to travel up the country to our centre after her ordeal, so she spent a few days locally with our dear friend who gave her loads of TLC! She arrived into the Irish Horse Rehoming Programme last week, and is holding her own! As you can see from the pics, she is rubbed sore across her front and back legs from the harness leg straps and she has a wound on her hind fetlock, where she clipped herself with the shoe trying to pull the sulky with a fairly big man on it!
This little girl won,t be ready for rehoming for quite a while, so if you you would like to contribute towards her care and support our work here in IHRP, please click on the link below which will bring you to our paypal
