Rescued Horses & Donkeys

  

Pictured above are a horse foal and a donkey foal, who were born at Willows. Above left is Rocket and at right is Fern with her mother Cindy. In 25 years, Willows has rescued many donkeys - we have a Donkey Barn full of them for you to see when you visit!

As well as donkeys, Willows has provided a lifelong home for hundreds of unrideable horses. We have always valued them as sentient beings who deserve our kindness and respect. Each horse and donkey at Willows is vaccinated, has their feet trimmed every 8 weeks, receives any required veterinary care and a full dental examination once per year. Whilst some of the horses in our care have come from loving homes, many have been worked into the ground and then cast aside. Sometimes they have suffered badly in their lives and even been severely abused by their owners.

We look after the huge range of equines at Willows in as natural an environment as possible, where they can heal their emotional wounds and just be a horse or a donkey again.
