The Northcote Heavy Horse Centre is a visitor attraction and animal sanctuary providing a permanent home for horses and ponies that have nowhere else to go, through behavioural problems, abuse or neglect. Northcotes has provided a home for horses for over 21 years. The Centre is run entirely by volunteers and funded by visitor income, through events, donations and sales from our Christmas catalogue to name a few. This is vital for our survival in caring for the horses and ponies. In August 2010 the centre became a registered charity something we are very proud about and we hope that through your visit to meet our horses we can continue in the work that we do.

Admission: 2012 will be our 4th year of asking people to kindly give a donation for their visit, it costs in excess of £150 every day to care for the horses here. The centre is funded entirely by visitor donations, adoptions, and fundraising to name a few. Your donation means we can carry on our work here, looking after these noble friends. We have never needed your support more than we have now. *Admission charges apply to special events. (See our opening times page for all our dates)
