Remus Memorial Horse Sanctuary

Our Big Ask!

2024 was particularly challenging for us due to rising costs and persistent wet weather. And this, combined with cancellation of half of our Open Days during the summer, resulted in a significant loss of income – a shortfall of over £15,000. Please support our Winter Appeal via JustGiving.

You can help Remus Horse Sanctuary in so many ways…

Welcome to Remus Horse Sanctuary in Ingatestone, Essex! We believe that together, with your help, we can all make a difference and bring an end to horse cruelty. The horse welfare crisis in the UK has been escalating for many years and we want to ensure that, in future, no animal is born to die. We hope you like what you see here and look forward to welcoming you to our family!
