Juanita Wilson

Mossburn Community Farm Founder 

​

I never started out to set up an animal charity, the whole thing just happened. Many years ago now, it became known locally that I was approachable when people got into difficulties with horses and ponies. Inevitably a sick pony called Merlin arrived on my doorstep, I nursed him back to health and it all started from there. As a direct result of Merlin’s arrival, I decided to form a committee and set up a charity. At first, we were solely an equine charity but when we moved into Mossburn, things began to change with the arrival of five pigs, three geese and three sheep, and we started to take on the shape of how we are today.
