Rykie

Get to know more about Rykie

When Rykie first arrived she could not stand, her wobbly legs unable to hold her, her body flopping to the ground. Rykie has improved significantly since her arrival. As her premature brain developed so did her sense of proprioception and she started to figure out where to place her legs to shakily stand up, then walk and now even clumsily run! She is enjoying her new sense of freedom, no longer relying on her carers to carry her around. She loves to follow her lamb sister Eliza around and can’t wait to be able to run as fast as her!
