Remus Horse Sanctuary Celebrates Spectacular Success at Red Carpet Charity Gala Evening

Remus Horse Sanctuary is delighted to announce the tremendous success of its first-ever Red Carpet Charity Gala Evening, held at the iconic Elstree Film Studios in Borehamwood on Saturday 15 November. The glamorous event brought together supporters and friends of the Sanctuary for an unforgettable night of entertainment, all in aid of creating a new ‘Gala Paddock’ – a dedicated, specially designed space for laminitic horses and ponies in the Sanctuary’s care.

Guests enjoyed an evening of exotic food, live music, casino tables and a dazzling auction featuring a range of exclusive prizes, generously donated by businesses and patrons alike. The highlight of the night was hearing stories of the Sanctuary’s rescue work, particularly Holly and Davey, reminding everyone why their support is so important. The atmosphere was one of joy and generosity, with guests showing incredible warmth towards the animals’ ongoing welfare.

The evening was organised and hosted by the wonderful Dena Schwartz, whose remarkable dedication, attention to detail and enthusiasm set the tone for a truly memorable night. Thanks to her efforts, and the generosity of all who attended, the Gala raised an impressive £22,270.51. These funds will go directly towards the creation of the Gala Paddock and will enable the Sanctuary to provide a safer and more supportive environment for horses and ponies living with laminitis.

Sue Burton, Founder of Remus Horse Sanctuary, said: “We are absolutely thrilled with how the evening went. The warmth and kindness shown by everyone who joined us was inspiring. The Gala Paddock is an important project for us and knowing that the funds raised will help improve the wellbeing of some of our most vulnerable residents means so much.

“I would also like to express my heartfelt thanks to Dena, whose commitment and passion made the entire evening possible. It truly was a night to remember.”
