The Mare and Foal Sanctuary E-mail

The Mare and Foal Sanctuary are an equine charity dedicated to the rescue and rehabilitation of horses and ponies in the Southwest of England. They have a lot of useful information on their website about horses, their health, their very popular "Ask a Question" section to ask their experts anything horse related, busy forums and lots more. Full details of all the charity's horses including photos are available, and they have a photo gallery too.

The Sanctuary is always looking for great loan homes for their horses so do look at their website or visit if you are in their area.

Animal Friends learned about the Sanctuary through a feature in the Mail about little Rebel, a four month old Dartmoor Pony saved from the annual sales in a terrible condition. As you will see, her front legs are deformed due to a bone growth defect.

The Sanctuary found out that Rebel could be cured if she underwent a special operation at Bristol Veterinary Hospital but the operation would cost over £2000. Animal Friends immediately stepped in and offered the full cost needed for Rebel to have her operation. She will be accompanied by her best friend, a little pony called "Bob" with whom Rebel is inseparable - Bob will be going along to give moral support!

Rebel has now left the hospital and is doing very well. He will have to go back shortly to have her pins and plates taken out and will then be well on the road to recovery.
