The Way We Care

To care for the animals on site, we have a staff of fifteen, who work hard to make sure that the animals’ care is of the highest quality that we can possibly achieve and that they, the animals, want for nothing. Added to our staff we have a wonderful band of enthusiastic volunteers, young and not so young, all essential for the daily running of Remus Horse Sanctuary. Their seemingly tireless efforts doing every type of work imaginable makes such a huge difference to the Sanctuary and its animals.

The Sanctuary embraces holistic care alongside the superb work of our species-specific vets. We have a solarium to help the older horses, ponies and donkeys and a Laminitic Barn equipped to help the laminitic and Cushingoid ponies – which consists of a special wood chip flooring, daylight bulbs to help boost the immune system and deep cushioned stables all with rubber matting below the bedding. We also have various woodchip paddocks which really are the difference between life and death for the laminitic horses and means that can get out and play with their friends and feel the sun on their backs.
