The place for people who want to make a difference to the lives of horses, ponies and foals.
We’re unlocking a world of natural, wild beauty where ponies and people who were struggling can enjoy life again. The Mare and Foal Sanctuary rescues horses and ponies that have been abandoned, neglected or abused. We also ensure that horses and ponies have a sanctuary for life. Most horses and ponies are given care for life through our network of knowledgeable carers. Those horses and ponies with more complex needs are cared for in our peaceful sanctuaries.
Our charity was founded on the principles that horses and ponies, as sentient beings and close companions of humans over the centuries, have a value and a purpose. They deserve our kindness and care. Our equine-centred approach to equine assisted learning enables us to create a sense of sanctuary for people within our sanctuary for horses and ponies.
Here at the Sanctuary, we’re holding fast to the vision of our founder, Rosemary Kind. It’s honoured on a daily basis by all the staff who dedicate their working lives to the horses and ponies in the sanctuary’s care.
Gifts in Wills account for more than 50% of our income each year and we are so grateful to every person who chooses to remember us. Every penny genuinely makes a difference, not least as we receive no central funding whatsoever.
