Charity concert to help sick lamb
Published: June 27, 2007
A charity rock concert is being held to raise money for a baa-dly injured lamb who was found on the Lancashire moors.
The five-week-old, who has been called Shaun, was rescued by passing horse riders who found him lying in a gully with a poorly leg and hoof.
They took him back to the riding stables where staff are looking after him and treating his wounds.
The concert, being called Lamb Aid, will be held on Saturday to help raise money for Shaun’s vet bills.
Shaun has suffered nerve and tissue damage and needs lots of help from the vets to get better.
Gian Rothwell, whose partner works at the stables, said: “When we first found him his leg was very weak, he had no strength in his shoulder and he was walking on the back of his hoof.

“If we can strengthen his hoof up, he should be able to knock around quite well with that.”
A local rock band Badger are headlining the gig, with all the proceeds going to the Bleakholt Animal Sanctuary in Edenfield, Rochdale.
