In the charity's own words
Devon Horse and Pony Sanctuary is dedicated to the care, of equines in need. We provide a loving home for equines to the end of their days and in appropriate cases will find the right loan home for the right animal. We also provide a permanent home for retired Police horses and other working equines. We will also take in emergency neglect cases and provide the appropriate care.
