Rescuing and re-homing equines since 1974
In line with the Government guidelines we have cancelled all on site events
All our events were fundraisers for the sanctuary and will leave a hole in our income, but we understand many of you, our supporters, will also be looking at holes in your income over the next few weeks – here’s hoping we can all pull together and help each other through this.
THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR SUPPORT.
Please come back to this page for future updates
