Open Day at the Sanctuary

Bring your friends and family to our Open Day in May. Meet the animals and people, and learn more about what we do here and why.

You can help Remus Horse Sanctuary in so many ways…

Welcome to Remus Horse Sanctuary in Ingatestone, Essex! We believe that together, with your help, we can all make a difference and bring an end to horse cruelty. The horse welfare crisis in the UK has been escalating for many years and we want to ensure that, in future, no animal is born to die. We hope you like what you see here and look forward to welcoming you to our family!
