The money came from the proceeds of a raffle held during an event run by equine vet Reuben Whitaker and his wife Sarah at Powdermills Hotel, Battle on July 4.

Reuben and Sarah recently set up their equine practice in Northiam and have taken on many new clients who were originally with Senlac Vets in Battle who have now ceased to treat horses.
