Smaller animals are a big attraction in new departure for local horse welfare charity
Staff at the West Country’s leading horse, pony and donkey attraction are urging their animal-loving visitors to take advantage of an ideal opportunity to talk to local pet care experts and meet a range of different types of animals including rabbits, guinea pigs, dogs and ferrets.
On Saturday 4th February, Bristol-based HorseWorld, which rescues, rehabilitates and rehomes horses, ponies and donkeys in need will be joined by various small animal rescue organisations from around the Bristol and Bath area.
It’s the first time the charity has run this type of event, which will provide members of the public with a day of fun and pet education. Organisations attending include RSPCA Bath Cats & Dogs Home, Holly Hedge Animal Sanctuary and The Littlest Rescue with Boarding Bunnies at Home.

Visitor Centre Yard Manager, Karen Hardwick explains. “We often give advice to people looking to become a horse owner, however many of our visitors are more likely to want to take on a smaller animal. We hope that people will take advantage of this opportunity to ask the experts and gain a realistic view on what is involved caring for this type of animal. It also gives people who are not in a position to have a pet, the opportunity to get up close to these animals.”
Information about opening times and admission prices can be found here.
