Brighter Futures appeal

Looking to the future - Your donation today could help provide the best possible home for life for neglected and mistreated horses, ponies and donkeys.

Donate to the appeal

£3 a month

could help lay new surfaces to protect the feet of donkeys like Tim and Adel.

£5 a month

could be used to build new quarantine facilities, critical for bringing rescued horses into sanctuary care.

£8 a month

could help to build two new barns which will enable a horse that needs to stay indoors to be kept company by a friend.

Timothy and Adel

The day after his rescued mother Mary was brought into our care, Timothy was born at Redwings Horse Sanctuary. That day was nearly fifteen years ago. Along with close friend Cain, Timothy has grown into a playful – and often vocal – resident who today lives at our visitor centre in Oxhill, Warwickshire.

Adel on a lovely Summer's day

Adel was admitted to sanctuary care when she was nine years old, along with her foal Merlin. Like Timothy, Adel and her friends live at Oxhill, where we manage their daily care and ensure that their veterinary needs are met.

We want to provide Timothy, Adel and all the donkeys, ponies and horses in our care with the best possible home. Work has begun on some exciting new developments at Oxhill including spaces dedicated to resident donkeys.

"By building an area designed around our donkeys, we are providing them with an environment that supports the health of their hooves, gives interest and enrichment opportunities as well as private space that can be used whenever they choose."

Centre Manager, Redwings Oxhill

Improving facilities

Work to improve facilities is currently being carried out across several of Redwings’ sites. Each new project is designed to improve either the care given to our residents, the way horses are brought into the sanctuary, or how we show our work to our visitors.
