Welcome to Hope Pastures

At Hope Pastures Horse and Donkey Sanctuary, we rescue, rehabilitate and rehome horses, ponies and donkeys, while providing a permanent home for those few who need lifelong sanctuary.

Based in Leeds, we also work in the local community to support equine welfare and help those in need. We are free to visit and open to the public, giving people the chance to meet our residents and see our work first-hand. As an independent charity, we rely entirely on donations, fundraising and the support of our visitors and volunteers to continue caring for our animals.

WE ARE OPEN TO VISITORS

We are open to the public Tuesday to Sunday 10am to 3pm
Our Visitor Centre is open 10 am to 3pm (Summer Hours)
We are closed to the public on Mondays (except Bank Holidays and school holidays)
No need to book!
Free admission and parking, and donations are very welcome.
