Welcome to the NEW online home of
The Horse Sanctuary!
Please take few moments to take a look at what we do, whilst waiting for the next few pages to develop. It would be fantastic if you should choose to support our charity in whatever way you can. Simply click on any of the "buttons" at the top of the screen to find out more...straight from the horse's mouth!
The Tettenhall Horse Sanctuary originated in 1976, established as a charity in 1978 it has been the leading light for most of the other emerging sanctuaries. In 32 years we are still the only reliable 24 hour service to stray and abandoned horses in the black country.
With a dozen horses saved from slaughter, a dozen wayward youths taken off the streets to help field management and a dozen honourable people pledged to raise the necessary funds. In the year 2001 ten of those original horses are still alive and enjoying pasture pleasure, two original waywards have matured and stayed and two of the original fundraisers are pledged here for life.
Along the way thousands of horses have benefited together with thousands of youths, disabled people, people with slow ability and no hope of a job have found employment. Sadly the fund raising skills have always been neglected in huge demand for hands on help that has been called on by the demands of this now internationally known charity.
The dedication, knowledge and skill to care for elderly discarded horses and slow people are unsurpassed. We hope this Internet site will find willing fundraisers to ease the modern day bills. Have a browse through the site and send a small donation if you can.Thank you
