THE MARE AND FOAL SANCTUARY
Activities
As described by the charity on the register
We rescue horses and ponies that have been abandoned, neglected or abused and ensure that horses and ponies have a sanctuary for life mainly through our network of knowledgeable carers, advancing the education of the public in all such matters. Equines with more complex needs are cared for in our peaceful sanctuaries. Our Equine Assisted Services enable us to help people in need.
