Looking after horses takes so much care – something the team at Remus Horse Sanctuary is well aware of! And some things that we may think of as seasonal issues aren’t actually season-specific at all. That’s the case with dehydration – yes of course we all know to keep an eye on the animals we […]

It’s March, and for many fundraising calendars that means one thing – Make a Will Month! Make a Will Month is intended to encourage individuals to make or review their Will, whilst making a donation to the charity, or charities, they support. However, it’s very expensive to sign up to the scheme and really only […]

But when your horse is injured or ill, sometimes we are tempted to treat it ourselves – especially if we are worried about the vet’s bills. Of course, most experienced owners […]

Remus Horse Sanctuary has launched an appeal to help raise extra funds for hay this winter. Unfortunately, the Sanctuary has been facing a shortage of hay due to the extremely wet weather conditions. As a result of the sustained flooding from over the last 3 months, they have had to use much more of their […]

When grazing is not possible on our site in the winter months, hay is even more vital for feeding the 200+ equines at our Sanctuary, like little Mopsey, Dickie and Clementine pictured here.
