Hope Pastures celebrates five years |
April 2009 marked the 5 year anniversary of the new trustees taking over 'The Phyllis Harvey Horse & Donkey Trust'. We would like to think we have come along way since those early days. We have just embarked upon a large multi-phase renovation plan to enable us to take on more horses in need of a safe home.
We wouldn't be where we are now if it hadn't been for the fantastic support of all those people who have helped us along the way so a massive 'Thank you' to you all. In these days of the credit crunch it is now even more important that we get the support to continue our work. There are so many ways you could help, click here to find out how.
 The Charity was registered in 1974 and the aim was to rescue horses, ponies & donkeys that were being abused. In April 2004 the Trust was taken over by new trustees whose aims are to Rescue, Rehabilitate and Re-home wherever possible.
Although some residents may be old and some not in the best of health, they are all cared for and loved and can spend their days in a safe environment away from the often harsh and brutal treatment of their former years.
As well as rescuing horses, Hope Pastures hopes to provide an environment where young people can learn directly about caring for horses in a natural setting, this interaction helps educate young people about animal welfare and social responsibility. Whether by visiting our web site or directly meeting the animals at our sanctuary, we hope to foster an environment where learning and understanding can take place. It is our hope that in doing this, we will help nurture a generation that values the natural world around us and seeks to protect the environment and the animals we share this planet with.
Unfortunately, all the care costs us a great deal of money. We rely
solely on public donations. Hope Pastures receives no grant or state aid and can only continue to rescue and care for horses and ponies with help from people like you. From only £1 a month, you can help us feed and look after these animals by adopting one or more of them, safe in the knowledge that your money is not spent on admin, but goes towards the animals' care. Please take a look at details of our adoption scheme and for other ways you can help.
Although it is still very much a struggle to make ends meet, the job has been made much easier by the great support we have had from all those people who, like us, want to give these beautiful animals a second chance in life. To all those of you who have been so generous so far we would like to say a big thank you on behalf of all of our residents.
We have a huge task ahead of us, as we have plans not only to renovate the sanctuary but also expand so we can save more horses who, through no fault of their own, become neglected and abused. Please continue to give us your support in any way you can, and help us put the 'hope' back in Hope Pastures.

Feeding the animals
We kindly request that you do not feed the animals as this causes fighting and unnecessary stress within the herd. You are more than welcome to bring food for the animals and leave it in the box provided and we will ensure that it is given at feeding times. Thank you for your understanding and co-operation. |
Guided Tours
Every Wednesday at 11am, one of our trustees / volunteers will be giving guided tours of Hope Pastures and will be able to tell you more about the animals and the work we are doing. This is a free service, so if you're available just pop down! If you have a group or party that would like to visit please would you email us first so we can ensure you get the most out of your visit or to perhaps arrange a time or day to better suit you. Don't forget we are open every day between 10am and 3pm for you to visit and look around at your leisure. |
Days gone by
We are wanting to put together a short history about the Hope Pastures site on Weetwood Lane, going back to when it was a farm long before the days it became a sanctuary. If you have any old photo's, maps etc that we could use please could you drop us a line at phtrust@fsmail.net or post to:

Money for nothing
Most people buy things online these days, whether it's Amazon, Ebay or one of hundreds of other on-line suppliers. For those of you who don't know,if you buy your presents through www.buy.at/hopepastures it will link to 100's of your favorite sites. Every purchase you make earns money for the sanctuary, without costing you a penny more. Just think, if we made, say 2%, on every purchase our supporters made on-line how much animal feed and bedding that would buy ?
