I am an Animal Warrior opposed to all abuse!
To each & everyone of my precious friends... thank you. You really don't know how special you all are!! Your kind words, encouraging emails, support & love, have kept me feeling positive!   I couldn't have kept going without the love & kindness you all shared with me.  My dear friends,God bless you all & keep you safe xxxxxxx

My animals are my life, I have 2 Yorkshire Terriers (1 who has no eye's) & a Chihuahua who thinks he is a Rottweiler....lol...they are by my side 24/7!!!


My beautiful horses...Lillia a 16.2H Gelderland & my cheeky colt (I rescued him from slaughter) Bengie...they have been my inspiration to go on, when it all gets too much!!
They give me the reason to get better & live my life as best I can...It's hard when you suffer pain daily...but when you have animals in your life...that love you unconditionally... there is no other feeling to beat it. When you open the door & your dogs nearly knock you over cos their so happy to see you...what makes you feel more loved than that???? It's... unconditional...they give so much, yet ask so little in return...I will never understand the mentality of anyone who could hurt such sentient beings...never have & never will!!!

Tony the Tiger

















Stray Dogs and Cats Prayer

Dear God please send me somebody who'll care!
I'm tired of running, I'm sick with despair.
My body is aching, it's so racked with pain.
And Dear God I pray as I run in the rain, 
That someone will love me and give me a home. 
A warm cozy bed I can call my own 
My last owner neglected me and chased me away 
To rummage in garbage and live as a stray. 
But now God I'm tired and hungry and cold. 
And I'm afraid that I'll never grow old. 
They've chased me with sticks and hit me with stones 
While I run in the streets just looking for bones! 
I'm not really bad God, please help if you can. 
For I have become just a "VICTIM OF MAN!" 
I'm wormy Dear God and I'm ridden with fleas 
and All that I want is an owner to please! 
If you find one for me God, I'll try to be good 
I won't run away and I'll do as I should. 
I don't think I'll make it to long on my own, 
Cause I'm getting so weak and I'm so all alone. 
Each night as I sleep in the bushes I cry, 
Cause I'm so afraid God, that I'm gonna die!
And I've got so much love and devotion to give, 
That I should be given a new chance to live.
So Dear God PLEASE, 
PLEASE answer my prayer

Bear Farming

More than 12,000 bears are suffering desperately cruel conditions in Asia’s bear farms, right now.
They are confined so bile can be extracted from their gall bladders and sold for traditional Asian Medicine.

.Rows of caged bears in an Asian bear farm, kept for their bileA caged, farmed bear with bile extraction wound

Over 12,000 bears are captive in bear farms in Asia. Most are held in cages the size of a telephone booth, in which they are unable to stand and can only turn around with difficulty.

The bears in these farms are visibly in severe distress. They are often hurt or scarred from repeatedly rubbing or hitting themselves against the bars of their tiny enclosures.Farmers prevent bears from hibernating – the cage floors are iron bars to stop the bears lying on firm ground. 

 Bullfighting pits a bull against men wielding barbed spikes, spears, swords and daggers. These weapons are designed to inflict intense pain and cause blood loss to weaken the animal. At the end of the fight, the bull is slaughtered.A bull suffering stab wounds collapses at a bullfight, France

Fighting back

The Spanish province of Catalonia recently led the way in the fight against bullfighting, thanks to the citizen’s platform ‘PROU’ (‘Enough’), supported by campaigning work by WSPA and Spanish member society Asociacion Defensa Derechos Animal (ADDA),Fundación para la Adopción, Apadrinamiento y Defensa de los Animales (FAADA) andLibera!.

Wild Fact About Me Have held a 4ft croc (in wildlife sanctuary) without tape round its mouth, how wild is that...must have been high on morphine...lol
My Philosophy Animals deserve as much love respect & kindness as you would give or show to a human!
What Gives Me Hope The unconditional love my animals give me! They might find a cure for chronic nerve damage or a spinal transplant :(
If I were Mayor, I'd make the world a better place by Anyone who abuses animals or humans would be punished to suit the crime. No petty fines or slap on the wrist, abusers need to pay for their actions. Create a register of animal abusers, one that can be seen by public.
What/who changed my life and why My horse Lillia changed my life.

I used to a be a teacher at a higher education college...life was good, great social life etc. However, a riding accident (which was neither mine nor my horses fault) in the 80's; forever changed my life. I had several operations to fix broken nose, jaw etc. but my main injury was my back. Doctors thought it was just bruising from surgery I had no option but to sell my horses to friends, as I could no longer care for them. I tried to move on; but looking back, with little success.
I tried to cope with the pain, however teaching I.T was not the best thing for my back. My pain got unbearable so I took advice from my surgeon who said another operation on my back would make me better, but there was a long waiting list. I didn't want to wait, i loved my job and just wanted the op so i could move on. So, I paid privately to have it done, naively thinking it would stop the pain and i could carry on with my life, get another horse etc....that was in 1999, suffice to say I have not worked since.
The operation went wrong, my life from there on went down hill. I sat at home for 10 years, hardly able to walk, in and out of hospital and getting more & more depressed. My old life had gone and i had lost interest in the life i had filled with pain, nothing to inspire me.
An old friend came to see me & was surprised at how much i had changed, she couldn't believe that this once bubbly person full of life, was now ready to quit it. She said the only thing to get me out my depression was to buy another horse, as they were so much a part of my life before the accident.
This seemed such an absurd idea as i couldn't look after myself, let alone another horse, the only animals i still had were my dogs. After much arguing with my parents and rehabilitation to be able to cope with the pain, I looked around for somewhere to keep a horse and some one to look after it, my friend jumped in, she would take care of it for me. So i went out and bought Lillia.
She has turned my life around and i owe my life to her, no one knows how low i had become. Instead of sitting at home being depressed & wanting life to end, I know cant wait for the days i get to spend with my horse. I bought her from a riding school where she was used for disabled kids to learn to ride on. She was used to crutches & a gentle ride etc. she was perfect, i fell in love with her at first glance. I have worked really hard, trying to cope with pain and can now say, she, Lillia has made me come alive again. If not for her, i really don't know if i would be writing this now. I still am in pain, taking copious amounts of oral morphine, ketamine and many more drugs, just to be able to get out of bed but at least now i have a reason to get out of bed.
My horse Lillia and my new little colt i rescued from slaughter are now my life. Yes i am in agony every day and most people including my family couldn't understand why i would consider buying another horse when they know it causes me so much pain just to walk (which i am not good at) although u will never see any photo's of me in my wheelchair..lol. I cant make them understand that i don't care about my pain when with my horses, if i get to ride 1 day a week i spend the rest of that week in bed in agony but i wouldn't change it. Sometimes i just sit with Lillia in her stable, telling her about life, pain etc. I can be in agonising pain at home doing nothing, so i might as well do something i love and be in pain. I find it amazing that an animal has touched my life so much, for that, i will be truly grateful to her, my best friend in the world, my beautiful Lillia xx
