ABOUT: We usually have several equines that are available to foster, both short term, and long term, many of them have "special needs", due to their history of abuse or neglect.

Please read our Criteria for Re-homing below, and if you think you could offer a home to one of our equines, please contact the relevant Centre to discuss your application, and to arrange a visit.

Criteria for the successful re-homing of equines

Many of our equines have been rescued from cruel and neglectful situations, some are very nervous, or have behavioural problems, and some of them have chronic health issues.

We try to find homes for our equines which will meet their needs, and provide a good experience for the equine and the foster person. We do not take ‘reserves’ on the equines, but try to match the correct animal to the perfect home!

Each individual equine has specific requirements, and each application will be dealt with appropriately for that animal. This will involve talking with you about the equine and your situation, a home visit, and if approved, time spent by you handling the equine before you take it home, and then we both sign a Fostering Agreement.

We do not have 'fees' for our equines, but we ask you for a suitable donation to help with the costs we have incurred in bringing that animal back to health. We rely on the generosity of the general public for funding of the equine units, so all donations are very welcome.
