A life free from pain and neglect

You don’t need to be wealthy to leave a legacy to HorseWorld. Over half of the legacies left to us each year are for sums of £5,000 or less and of those, over 50% are for less than £1,000. Every penny counts and helps us work towards a safe and secure future for every horse in need.

A legacy in your will is an important decision, and one you won’t want to rush. As with any legal transaction leaving a legacy requires careful planning.

If you would like to leave a legacy to HorseWorld we would advise that you consult your solicitor who will be able to ensure that you draw up the correct document in law and also the best person to ensure that your legacy goes to the intended recipient with the minimum of fuss.

It is vital that you quote HorseWorld’s Registered Charity number – 1121920 – to ensure that there can be no dispute about your wishes.

Remember to keep your Will safe, once it has been signed and witnessed.

HorseWorld has some advice on how to leave a legacy, which can be sent to your home at your request. Equally, you can contact Jess Winchester who will be happy to talk you through the process. You can call her on 01275 893033. All correspondence will be kept confidential.
