As the world's oldest horse charity we have a proud tradition of working to improve the lives of every horse, pony and donkey in the country. For over 125 years our Home of Rest for Horses has specialised in providing retirement and respite for working horses, from the cab horses of 1880’s London to today’s hard-working equine public servants have served in the police, the army or by working with charities who use horses to help people. We also provide sanctuary to horses, ponies and donkeys who have suffered from cruelty or neglect and who are in desperate need of specialist treatment and care.
