The Horse Trust of Buckinghamshire, UK, is now taking orders for its Christmas cards and 2010 calendar, which feature retired horses, donkeys, and ponies living at the sanctuary.

All proceeds from The Horse Trust's Christmas cards and calendars go to the charity. It costs the charity around £17 ($28) a day to look after each horse at the sanctuary.

The Horse Trust's Christmas cards cost £4 ($6.67) for a pack of 10 and the 2010 calendar costs £6 ($10.01).

The cards feature four of its current residents: Barkis, a Greater Manchester Police horse that retired to the sanctuary after developing arthritis; Briar, a hinny that retired to the sanctuary when Battersea Children's Zoo closed in 2004; and Henry and Troy, two of the oldest donkeys living at the sanctuary (they are 26 and 30 years old respectively)
