THE WORLD’S OLDEST HORSE CHARITY

For over 136 years of Rest for Horses has been providing respite and a final home for horses from the police, military and riding for the disabled.

These horses and ponies have served our country, bravely protected our communities from violence or brought joy to disabled or disadvantaged children. Many of these working horses can no longer be ridden once they have nished their working lives and we provide a loving and safe place they can retire to with dignity.

We also provide sanctuary to horses, ponies and donkeys who have suffered from severe 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 have invested in funding 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 welfare and quality of life of all horses.

From our very rst day of our opening in 1886 we have relied entirely on donations from the general public to support our work. With your help, we can continue to give these animals the life and retirement that they truly deserve.
