About

Equine Welfare Charity

The Mare and Foal Sanctuary is the place for people who want to make a difference to the lives of horses, ponies and foals. We rescue horses and ponies that have been abandoned, neglected or badly treated and give them sanctuary for life. Most horses and ponies are looked after by our network of knowledgeable carers. Those equines with more complex needs are cared for in our peaceful, Devon-based sanctuaries.     

Over 600 equines are currently under our care. We work for all horses and ponies but have particular experience in managing and training feral or unhandled horses and ponies and caring for mares in foal and orphaned or abandoned foals.  

The Mare and Foal Sanctuary was founded on the principles that horses and ponies, as sentient beings and close companions of humans, have a value and a purpose. We provide Equine Assisted Services to enable people in the community to connect with horses and ponies. Everything we do is aimed at unlocking a world of natural, wild beauty where ponies and people who were struggling can enjoy life again.

Our work is focused in the South West but as part of the National Equine Welfare Council we collaborate locally and nationally with the RSPCA and other equine welfare charities. We also give non-judgemental advice and no-shame support to any horse or pony carer. Our patrons are John Nettles OBE and Angela Rippon CBE.

Even if you can’t own a horse or pony, the Mare and Foal Sanctuary can help you play the biggest role in their lives. Find out more about our lifesaving work: www.mareandfoal.org
