Ada Cole Latest

Half-term fun!
Next week it's half-term, hurray, which means it's time to come and meet our lovely horses and ponies - it's free to get in and makes a great day out for all the family!
Even better, during half-term week we will be offering some extra activities at our Ada Cole centre; each morning there will be grooming sessions on offer with some of our lovely residents, and in the afternoons there will be walking tours of the site guided by one of our staff members, who would just love to introduce you to our horses and ponies personally!
We do hope you can come along and join us - and if you'd like more information before you travel, please call us on 0870 040 0033 or email info@redwings.co.uk.
Ada Cole Rescue Centre, Essex
See Welfare in Action!
In October 2005 Redwings merged with the Ada Cole Memorial Stables in Essex, a rescue centre established in memory of an amazing lady who campaigned for animal welfare. You can meet more than 50 rescued horses, ponies, donkeys and mules at the site - some are permanent residents while others are looking for loving homes through the charity’s Guardianship Scheme.
The Ada Cole centre is also the permanent home of nine gorgeous adoption equines Boo, Choccy, Dolly, Finnegan, Harry, Katy, Louie, Misfit and Rhadlon. They can’t wait to meet you!
What to do
At our Ada Cole centre there are walking tours and horse care demos as well as a gift shop and information centre on site where you can adopt a pony, buy gifts or find out more about the horsey residents and the charity's welfare work.
We also serve light refreshments including hot drinks and delicious cakes!
