October's Past

October's Future

Rehoming Fee: £50

October is a lovely, easy-going mare who would thrive in an active home that will keep her weight managed to prevent obesity.  

October respects electric fencing and is happy to be left alone. She has been turned out with both mares and geldings and she generally gets on well with both. 

Our Rehoming Advisors are available to help every day of the year. We will work to support you and October as she settles in her new home and can offer training and advice as needed.  

Become a Sanctuary at Home Carer

To help you become a Sanctuary at Home Carer, we have a dedicated team managing our scheme and their job is to help find the right equine for you and then support you throughout your rehoming experience.

Our Pathways

We have three rehoming pathways within our Sanctuary at Home scheme. These are:

Prime Pastures

This scheme enables us to rehome horses and ponies with long-term medical conditions that are manageable. You'll be required to help support their condition with regular monitoring and we contribute towards the costs of their veterinary treatments.

Foster

Working alongside us to socialise and train young or rideable horses for future work in our education programmes. You'll help provide a home setting for these horses to mature before returning to the Sanctuary for further assessment. We work closely with you to keep up to date records of their training, achievements, milestones, setbacks and all aspects of their care.

Standard

Means you help provide a sanctuary at home for as many years as you can for a horse or pony from our charity on a loan basis.
