An adorable lamb left disabled in a freak farming accident is back on her hooves after learning to use an off-road wheelchair.

Rosy, a one-year-old Suffolk breed, broke her back leg while gambolling in a field and lay undiscovered for hours overnight.

While lying hidden from view a crow pecked one of her eyes out and she was attacked by another unknown animal in June.

Her broken leg healed incorrectly and she was left unable to stand properly so was taken to The Rescue Ranch in Hatton, for help.

Ranch manager Susan Franks, 53, was concerned Rosy was unable to graze so fitted her with wheels.

Staff modified a "dog wheelchair" to accommodate her fleece to enable her to get about the farm unaided.

Susan, who runs the rescue centre with partner Jules, said: "Rosy was on a farm and the worker noticed she'd been attacked in a field.

"A crow had pecked her eye out and she had a broken leg. She was in a bad way when he brought her to us.

"Her leg had healed badly and she was struggling to walk at all on her other feet.

"The broken leg was fused and mended badly so she was very unstable.

"We had to get a vet in straight away. We've only had her a month. She's very brave, she reaches up to us for treats now.

"The vets say they think she may have been down in the field in the night when she hurt herself and was left out on her own when a crow pecked her eye out.

"She'll never gain any sight in that eye. Some of her face was attacked as well so she's been through the wars a bit.

"As soon as she arrived here, I thought to myself 'what on earth am I going to do to get her walking?'

"We thought we needed wheels so we thought we should use a dog wheelchair. A kind lady donated us a set of wheels and we made a few adjustments for Rosy.

"We strapped her inside the frame and ever so slowly we encouraged her to take a few steps. She responded really well.

"We thought brilliant, this is how to get her walking again."

Susan hopes Rosy can make a full recovery and will join the likes of goats, rabbits, sheep and dogs at the sanctuary.

She added: "We've had to get her some bigger wheels, which will get her walking. We're hoping this is temporary.

"It's not ideal for her to have this as a permanent situation, it wouldn't be fair of her.

"Our main aim is to get her walking without wheels. We've seen a 50 per cent improvement all over really.

"A vet comes once a week to give her physio so she's getting stronger and more confident but for now she relies her wheelchair to get herself around the farm.

"At the moment she's really happy and enjoying life. She's enjoying he wheels, she loves her food and all the attention.

"We're hoping that the physio might get her walking on all four legs again and she won't need the wheels so she can join the rest of the flock on the farm."
