Permanent Residents

Since around 2009 the Ark has taken in horses that need a home for varying reasons, some because they’ve been abandoned and not properly cared for, others due to ill-health or their owners are unable to continue looking after them, either for financial, heath or age reasons. We have managed to rehome a few to loving new homes, while others will retire with us for life. We’ve also had to say goodbye to some when their health has deteriorated to a degree it was no longer kind to keep them going. Horses take up a lot of time, effort and money to look after properly but we have some horse-lovers only too willing to help with their care, and generous supporters who donate equine equipment and bedding materials.

Another way to help is to sponsor a horse ant the money goes towards the chosen horse’s upkeep. Suggested sponsorship donations are £10 per month per horse, or £90 a year, paid in advance. More information can be obtained by applying to the Ark office and speaking to a member of staff, asking for a sponsorship pack, or emailing us via our Contact form when a sponsorship pack and payment details can be sent out to you.

We now have an Ark Equine Facebook page run by the equine staff. Any queries re any of the horses, ponies or donkeys should be sent directly to them as they know their charges best.
