We are really sorry but we are closed on Friday 31st May due to a planned power cut. 

The Horse Trust is the worlds first horse charity.  

For over 125 years our Home of Rest for Retired Horses has specialised in providing retirement and respite for working horses and ponies. These wonderful animals have served with the police, the army or other charities. We also provide sanctuary horses, ponies and donkeys who have suffered from cruelty or neglect and who are in desperate need of specialist treatment and care.

It is at our Home of Rest for Horses that we demonstrate best practice and deliver professional training in horse care and welfare. We are proud to have invested in funding ethical veterinary research that has led to major advances in horse care. This training and research helps develop the knowledge and skills needed to improve the care, welfare and quality of life all horses.

We rely entirely on donations from the general public to fund our work.
