Help find new homes for rescued horses
The charity decided to make July ‘Re-home a Horse’ month to encourage more people to consider giving a horse a home by highlighting the cases of horses already in new homes and doing useful jobs.
These included ponies being used as part of a conservation project, a horse which could take a disabled rider to the Paralympics, horses helping the disabled to gain in confidence and learn new skills and a show pony now competing at a high level.

This compares with July last year when just 12 horses were re-homed.
Roly Owers, chief executive of WHW, said he was delighted that so many horses had found new homes but added: “Although this campaign has been hugely successful, we still rely on members of the public to consider re-homing one of our horses at at all times throughout the year as our centres are always bursting with a fantastic variety of horses.”
