Passionate about life-long learning
Our charity is built on the mutual respect and compassion between people and horses; from donors, legacy pledgers and adopters, through to our team of dedicated staff, volunteers and supporters, we all share a common belief that horses deserve to live a happy and meaningful life and value the incredible trust and companionship that they bestow upon us.
What We Do
Horse Rescue
HorseWorld rescues neglected, mistreated and abandoned horses, ponies and donkeys. Each year, we provide lifesaving care and rehabilitation to up to 100 vulnerable equines, giving them a second chance at life.

Rehoming
We carefully rehome our rescued horses and ponies on a loan basis, ensuring they always have the safety net of returning to HorseWorld if circumstances change. By offering a rescue horse a loving home, you give them a second chance while also freeing up vital space at our yard, allowing us to help more horses in urgent need.

Discovery
HorseWorld offers an equine-assisted learning programme called Discovery, designed to help vulnerable children and young people build confidence, develop trust and grow in self-belief through guided sessions with our gentle rescued horses.

"As I observed HorseWorld’s work it became clear that its main goal is to improve the lives of horses and children. By now a great portion of the horse world knows that these two subjects are the prime motivations of my life. Anyone who loves animals should become familiar with this charity and wherever possible assist HorseWorld with its laudable efforts."
HorseWorld's Sponsorship scheme is a fantastic way of contributing to the work of the charity, and you could have a new best friend for life!
