Each winter we see very wet weather and at the GSPCA each year we receive a large number of calls from concerned members of public about horses and other animals in wet and muddy fields.
With the wet weather we see at this time of year in Guernsey we want to help prepare those with animals in fields.
Sarah Creasey GSPCA Animal Welfare and Education Officer said "Each Winter we often see long sustained very wet periods with many animals being affected."

On Sunday we held our last Spooky Tour and Hunt at the GSPCA with a group of 7 scary little monsters and witches.
Throughout half term we have held special tours at the GSPCA which included a quiz, meeting some of the more unusual animals, fancy dress and a very spooky room filled with prizes.
All the young monsters were accompanied by their parents and all had a great afternoon with yesterdays being the latest so was set in the dark to add to the spookiness of the event.
