Sponsoring an animal

Join our Sponsorship Club

Sponsorship is wonderful way to not only support our charity and our resident animals but it can also be a lovely gift for an animal mad loved one.

Anyone who sponsors an animal will receive an adoption pack that contains the following:


• A certificate of adoption.
• An information sheet on the chosen animal.
• A fact sheet with the animals breed information.
• A full colour photograph of the chosen animal.

Follow the simple steps below to get your sponsorship pack!

Step 1:

Take your time to learn about some of our animals available for sponsorship, or if you already know who you’d like to sponsor, skip ahead. 

Bailey is a stunning example of a Clydesdale heavy horse. He is around 13 years old. He is not backed (able to be ridden) but we are slowly working towards putting him in harness where he may one day pull a cart!

Churchill is a stunning example of a Clydesdale horse. ​ He came to our sanctuary in 2024, after his previous owner couldn't look after him anymore, and wanted him to come to a sanctuary, rather than be passed around.

Basil is a 14hh Welsh Section D stallion with a remarkable past. Known as Platinum Pink Panther, he has appeared in pantomimes, theatre shows, and the TV series Young James Herriot. Now retired at the Heavy Horse Centre, Basil is a much-loved legend enjoying a well-earned rest.

Pippa is a stunning bay Shire horse with a wonderfully gentle nature. She came to us in spring 2025 and is now recovering well after a period of illness. With lots of love and care from our volunteers, we hope to start working with her again in spring 2026.
