Our mascot Red thinks he's a bit of a clever clogs when it comes to knowing all about Redwings!
He's here to answer your questions so feel free to ask him whatever you've always wanted to know about taking care of horses and ponies, what life is like here at Redwings, or even what Red likes for his tea!
Fill in the form here, wait a few days and Red's response may just appear in one of the categories on the right* (don't worry though, we'll keep your identity secret!)
See if you can catch Red out…
* Please note, if you would like a response directly emailed to you then please email [email protected] instead. Please remember Red cannot respond to every question.

How is Dotty doing?
Dotty is doing well thank you for asking! She has been telling me she has some new donkey pals with her at Redwings Ada Cole - Jed, Snowy and Solomon. These boys have moved in to the paddock next door so she is enjoying getting to know them. Remember you can go visit Dotty every weekend Monday-Friday 10am-4pm.Tell her I said “Hello!” if you go!

How often can horses have food like carrots and apples? Also is there any other food you can feed horses that you can buy at a supermarket?
Oh I do love carrots and apples! However, I must not eat too many as that would make me feel ill and put on a lot of weight over time! They are a nice treat that my carers let me have every now and again just like sweets and chocolate for you humans. My friends and I do sometimes get polo mints or ginger biscuits (the donkeys especially love them!), kindly donated to us by supporters, but here at Redwings we love munching on yummy grass (and sometime hay) all day every day.
If you are thinking of what food to give horses that do not belong to you speak to the owner to see what treats you may be allowed to get them.
