Lewes MP visits Raystede.
Raystede was delighted to welcome the MP for Lewes, James MacCleary along with his family, for a visit to our site in Ringmer.
Mags arrived at Raystede in poor condition, suffering with chronic laminitis (inflammation and damage to the tissue of his hooves) severely impacting his ability to move. Mags spent around four weeks not being able to leave the stable, with Styrofoam pads taped to all four feet to increase comfort.
Five months later, thanks to your kind donations and the expert care our Equine Team, Mags is the picture of health, he is worm and lice free, and most importantly he isn’t in pain.
We couldn't help animals like Mags without your incredible support.
