Get involved
Carrots are given by Redwings staff to praise good behaviour or simply as a healthy snack, but care is always taken to give treats in moderation. Despite their size, carrots should only be given to horses and donkeys as occasional treats as too many could see them put on unnecessary weight.
Visitors to Redwings’ visitor centres over the celebratory weekend of 1st to 4th April will be able to find out more by taking on a “Carrot Chase” quiz trail around the site – while making sure to say hello to its many horsey and donkey residents along the way!
Anyone with a sweet tooth can also treat themselves to a scrummy carrot cupcake in the centres’ cafés with all proceeds going towards funding Redwings’ vital rescue and welfare work.
