Established in 1886...

The Horse Trust, the oldest horse charity in the world, was established in 1886 to help the plight of the working horses in London.

Set amongst the rolling Chiltern Hills, The Horse Trust provides an  animal sanctuary that caters for the retirement needs of over 100 horses, donkeys and ponies. In addition to providing a retirement sanctuary for the animals, The Horse Trust Charity is committed to promoting equine health and welfare through knowledge and ethical scientific research to reduce disease and suffering.

This is accomplished through equine welfare grants and horse research grants donated by The Horse Trust
