In the charity's own words
Our main work is the rescue and care of abused or neglected equines, rehabilitating them to be the best they can be considering their aptitude/abilities. The aim is to rehome but this is not often possible due to old age or long-term physical issues which often renders them unsuitable for riding but some are suitable as companions. We offer young people opportunities to work with our animals.
