My name is Sally Walker, and I am hoping to raise funds for the wonderful Animal Rescue Task Force.

In November this year, my beautiful horse Teddy became completely stuck in a pond for three hours, and it was only thanks to the amazing rescue services that he was extracted and survived. Teddy is 27 and was hypothermic and in shock, so he needed to be saved quickly and safely. I cannot thank all those involved in his rescue who helped make this happen.

Teddy needed to spend a few days in the hospital but has fully recovered, and I'm so grateful to still have my precious boy with me.

I am raising funds to support the purchase of large animal rescue equipment that will help save further animals in dangerous situations in the future. The task force has identified two items of equipment that would greatly support their rescue of large animals. An ' Instant Release Spreadbar and Becker Sling' ($3,112) and a 'Relocator Sked' ($2,819). Please consider donating to this vital cause.

Teddy is only here because of the amazing work of these rescue services. Thank you so much in advance.
