Show Your Support for HorseWorld This January 2020 with a Vote in Our Charity Poll!
HorseWorld is a horse rescue charity based in Bristol. Founded in 1952, HorseWorld was originally formed to take in retired working horses that were destined for slaughter. Over the years, the need has changed. More horses than ever before are being abandoned, cruelly treated and neglected. HorseWorld rescues, nurses the animal back to health, aids with any prosecution involved and begins a program of rehabilitation with each individual animal.
What Does HorseWorld Do?
Once horses are rehabilitated; a process which can take years, they aim to arrange a new ‘forever’ home with a loaner. The rehoming arm of the charity is ever busy, and the charity has found suitable homes for over 300 horses and ponies, all of which are rehomed in the South-West. This allows for speedy home-checking (part of the re-homing process) and regular on-going visits as part of HorseWorld’s commitment to the both the rescued animal and the person rehoming them. The charity also run Discovery courses targeted at children and teenagers who often don't attend a mainstream school because of behavioural or educational difficulties.
Rescued and rehabilitated horses work with the children in a number of different active and interesting sessions in order to build a range of skills, encourage learning and develop emotional growth. These courses provide a unique and safe way for young people with difficulties to develop skills and confidence through physical learning and practical activities.
