We are not a registered charity - we are just two individuals who do what we can to take in those animals who are in need of sanctuary and we give to them all the love, food and safe housing that they require - for their lifes !
There are three ways you can give support, through pay pal, and leave a message saying where you wish your gift to be forwarded on to. However we would prefer that your contributions be sent directly to our veterinary surgery, as there is always on going costs even just in the yearly checks and med's required, or by contributing towards the food and bedding costs.
We are not told who has helped us - your contributions only show on the monthly invoice so we wish to say here and now, Thank You to everyone who has given such wonderful gifts!
If you would like to notify us of your contribution, please email me at cvfa.uk@virgin.net so I may thank you personally -:)

Jollity Farm
by
Maria Daines, 2007
In lush green pastures safe from harm
The animals live on Jollity Farm
There's Thumbelina and Thomas turkey
Shetland ponies Sooty and Sparky
Judy and Oliver, once unlucky lambs
Feel the love from caring hands
A life of peace in clover meadows
Far away from cloud and shadows
How wonderful to see this sight
In a cruel world a ray of light
To watch these precious souls at play
Knowing they are here to stay
Not Christmas dinner, chops or stew
Roaming free in the summer dew
Once refugees, now rescued, saved
Four legs or two, they've got it made!
Hay and water, a warm straw bed
Sweet dreams for every sleepy head
Wrapped in the kindness of loving arms
A Cornish haven soothes and calms
They want for nothing for they come first
Never hunger, fear or thirst
Simply to be, not a product or trend
All for one and each one a friend.
To Mary and Chris our thanks for your care
And a great big hug for being there
You make a difference, saving the lost
No matter the workload, the trouble or cost
A voice for the broken, the lonely, alone
Jollity Farm ... a place to call home.

Please Visit & Support The Mare & Foal Sanctuary
The Slaughter of Dartmoor
How can anyone possibly live their lives
If they know of the terror that reins
It's time once more for the roundup
The horror, the carnage, the pain.
The ponies that roam free on Dartmoor
Happy and living in peace
Are hunted at this time for Market
For their meat, the butcher to please.
Babies crammed into lorries
Mares in foal, frightened and sick
Their eyes tell of the heartbreak
Traumatised, did she feel the last kick?
Ponies and foals stand together
So tight that they can hardly breathe
In the hell trucks that take them away from home
As their Moorland homes they leave.
If ponies can weep then their tears down the years
Would flood a river I'm sure
Why do we permit this heartbreak?
Against such cruelty I pray for a cure
There must be a better solution
Do these men have hearts of stone?
These ponies have feelings, they suffer
Please leave them on Dartmoor to roam.

..... " After a lengthy site visit with the Pollards, where I was able to question them both on all aspects of the animal's well being, their rationing, husbandry techniques and ground allocation I could clearly say that, all the animals I came across were being kept to a high level of well being, with rationing and land allocation that needs no correcting. Therefore I can only come to one conclusion that all the Pollard's animals are properly cared for, and that there is a high quality of animal welfare standards being kept.... "
