🎆 Fireworks & Our Horses 🎆
Last night fireworks were going off around the fields. As you can see in the video, our herd thankfully weren’t too worried — they just carried on eating their hay.
But this isn’t the case for many horses, livestock, pets or wildlife. 💔
Every year animals panic, bolt, injure themselves, or tragically lose their lives due to unexpected fireworks.
A simple act of kindness can make a huge difference.
Many communities now use local Facebook groups, WhatsApp chats, village pages and neighbourhood groups to notify each other when fireworks are planned. A quick message can give animal owners time to prepare and keep their animals safe.
🐴🐑🦊 Please be mindful of the animals around you.
They don’t understand fireworks — they only feel fear.
Redwings Horse Sanctuary have launched an important petition to help reduce firework noise and protect animals:

✨ Here’s our video from last night: you can hear how loud they were and understand why some animals have injured themselves while panicking.

Thank you to everyone who takes the time to look out for horses, livestock, pets and wildlife. 💚
