Hello, my name is Christian.
I am about 3 years old and I have been at the Sanctuary for 32 months. I was born in the Welsh hills and when I was about four months old these loud men with sticks came and hit us all until we got into a lorry. I lost my mother I don’t know what happened to her. I was too young to leave her and soon I became ill and I was very depressed. The awful men took us all on the lorry a long way to a market but little did I know that the day in the market, horrifying as it was, would be the turning point in my life. I was put in a pen with two bigger foals who bullied me, I was sick so I just tried to curl up in a corner out of the way but men with sticks kept prodding me and shouting at me making me stand up. Then this angel appeared, we’ll actually it was Janet, but she is an angel to me. Janet brought me home to the Sanctuary except I was so terrified that it took me weeks and weeks before I realised how fortunate I was.
Janet rescued another Welsh foal, who was abandoned in a market, as a friend for me. His name is Connor. He is my best chum. Both of us now live with our foster Dad, John. He is a wonderful man. I just love it here and wouldn’t want to be anywhere else. All the people I have met since Janet rescued me are marvellous, understanding and kind, no more sticks, no more lorries and no more illness. I want to stay with Connor and John. Please sponsor me.
