Who is the adoption for?

Hi my friend, I'm Fox!

Well, I say my name is Fox. My full name is actually Foxy Four Socks, but let's keep that as a secret between you and me! 

As you can see, I'm a large Shire Cross living at Redwings Caldecott in Norfolk, but please don't be intimidated by my size. I'm a real gent and like to lower my head over the fence so my visitors can give me a nice scratch and a cuddle. I came to Redwings in 2010 as part of a large group of horses when I was just a few months old. My owner had sadly passed away and no one was able to look after us. Since arriving at the Sanctuary, some of my friends have found new homes through the charity's rehoming scheme, but I have a condition which means I experience stiffness in my legs from time-to-time and need to be kept a close eye on by the vets. It's very hard to mind when I have a lovely paddock to enjoy, plenty of friends and all the food, water and love I need right here.

"For such a large horse, Fox is a really gentle and friendly boy. He loves to lower his head over the fence so his visitors can give him a nice scratch behind the ears."

Adoption scheme FAQs

We aim to send your pack as quickly as possible and you can usually expect it to arrive within five working days. However, delivery can take up to 21 days, especially in busy times, so please be patient. x

You can renew your adoption here or call our supporter engagement team on 01508 505246.

The majority of our adoption stars all live at one of our visitor centres around the UK. 

Opening times vary, you can find all the details here. Entry is free of charge and as part of your adoption package you'll receive an invite to their birthday party at the centre where they live - yes really!

Monarch is a 'special adoption' who currently lives at a closed site but we hope you'll be able to visit him in the not too distant future when he's had a bit more training!

Of course you can! Adopting a horse or a donkey for a loved one or friends makes a thoughtful and unique gift – perfect for Christmas, Easter or birthdays!

When you come to purchase your adoption, you can choose to have the adoption pack posted directly to the recipient, or you can opt to have the pack posted directly to you so you can give the gift at a time of your choosing.

After many years as well-loved Adoption Stars, we feel it’s only right that these wonderful residents have the chance to enjoy a peaceful retirement in their golden years.

If your Adoption Star retires, it doesn’t mean you still can’t sponsor them. It just means we won’t be accepting any new sponsors for that particular Adoption Star. You’ll still receive updates from your four-legged friend and can give them a cuddle at the visitor centre where they live.
