    Horse riders have adopted their own pet lamb - after rescuing it when it was left for dead.

    And now the waif, named Shaun the Sheep after the character in the Wallace and Gromit film A Close Shave, is to be the focus of a charity concert - Lamb Aid.

    The lamb was abandoned at just a week old after he became trapped under rocks, in a gully, and had injured his leg.

    Shaun was saved after members of an equestrian centre heard his cries while out on a moorland ride near Rawtenstall.

    Judith Weymont, owner of Rawtenstall's Dam Top Riding School, took the lamb under her wing and agreed to give him a good home until he is old enough to go and live with rescued ewes, in Edenfield.

    The lamb is now being hand-reared at the Weymont home and has become something of a celebrity after Judith's friend and riding school member, Pat Rothwell, came up with the idea of her husband's band doing a gig in his honour.

    Aww, that's cute. Lamb aid, i'm all for that:)

    I saw a poorly lamb whilst on a walk yesterday, it's ears and mouth had gone weird, it had obiously been rejected by it's mother and it was really sad. My mum said we couldn't do anything for it.:'(

    auuww glad the little lamb is ok, its nice to hear stories of animals being saved, always puts a smile on my face


    If me and my dad had a huge house with a few acres of land we would defo take in little lambs who have been abandoned and adopt them. I could never eat a little lamb as I instanly get a image of shaun in his little jumper.
