Remus Memorial Horse Sanctuary

Winter Feed Appeal

Winter poses one of the biggest challenges for equine welfare. With little or no grazing available, older and rescued horses rely entirely on hay and specialist feeds to stay warm and healthy. We've launched our appeal to help hungry horses in need.

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!

In addition to our small team, we have a wonderful band of volunteers who are essential for the daily running of Remus Horse Sanctuary.

Remus Horse Sanctuary is funded totally by public donations and our own fundraising and event activities.
