Pablos Horse Sanctuary - Long Clawson, Leicestershire.
Pablo’s Horse Sanctuary is a home for elderly, injured, abused and unwanted horses, based at Long Clawson, Leicestershire.
The sanctuary is named in honour of and as a tribute to a very special little grey pony. He was small, old, of no particular breed and had a crooked leg but he had the heart of a lion and the charm of a Casanova, plus a wicked sense of humour.
When the day came for him to go to horse heaven we were heartbroken. As a tribute to Pablo we take in horses and ponies, who through no fault of their own desperately need a safe, loving and permanent home. In 2006 we became a registered charity and currently we have over sixty horses and ponies, as well as goats, pigs and the odd sheep.
Our dream is to open the Sanctuary to children and people of all ages so they can receive educational and therapeutic benefit from our lovely horses and vice versa. People can love them, learn about them, handle them and ride some of them - all under supervision. People with problems can often interact with animals much better than they can people and gain great comfort from them.
To carry on our work and ensure our survival we need lots of help, with both fundraising and looking after the horses. Since grants from the Government are unavailable for charities like ours we rely entirely on donations and the money we make from our fundraising events. For more information on how you can help us continue our work please check out our fundraising page.
