A New Chapter for "No Ears": Meet Tallulah!

17 June 2025

We are absolutely thrilled to announce the winning name for our beloved foal, formerly known as "No Ears"! Thanks to a wonderful suggestion from Linda Brown, and chosen by Pen, her new name is TALLULAH!

Tallulah is a beautiful Native American Indian name meaning "leaping water" or simply “spring” and it suits her perfectly. Her playful spirit and the joy she brings to everyone at the sanctuary truly embody this name. We're so grateful to everyone who submitted their fantastic ideas.

Tallulah has come so far since her rescue, and this new name marks a wonderful new chapter in her life. We can't wait for you to follow her journey! Tallulah will be featured in Nowzad's special Sponsorship Programme later this year, so watch this space! https://www.nowzad.com/get-involved/sponsor-an-animal
