Meet Paris, the lucky mule who has just been given a loving new home on the foster scheme! She went to live with her new owner and another mule on Friday 23rd September - a very emotional day for the grooms who have cared for her since her relinquishment in 2007.

Meet two very special mules who go by the names of Stuff and Nonsense!

Stuff is a 16 year old mule who was relinquished into the Sanctuary in 2005 with her companion Nonsense, who is 20 years old. They were bought from a market as a ride and drive pair, but ended up with us when their owners lost their grazing.

Rags is the youngest mule we have here at Town Barton Farm at only 1 year old. She was relinquished to the Sanctuary in March 2010 by her breeder who was trying to cut back on stock. You may have read about Rags already in Claire Shapcott's blogs but I want to share a little bit more about her as we think she is so cute she deserves her own story!

Hello everybody!

I am finally back at work after 10 weeks off following knee surgery, and it is fantastic to be back and see the progress that has been made with some of our more difficult mules!

We have recently welcomed Michaela to our team here at Town Barton, and she has been working hard on mule behaviour and training along side Lil, Emma and Sophie.

Slat Jack is a 4 year old mule gelding, who was brought over from Ireland and arrived at Town Barton Farm on the 8th July 2009. On arrival Slat Jack appeared to be a very friendly chap who would always approach you to say hello, but it was on his second day with us that his true colours started to come to light. Read on...

My name is Jenna and I am going to start writing a blog to tell you about life at Town Barton Farm which is part of the Sanctuary.
