Christmas Cards and Calendars – Supporting the Sanctuary This Festive Season
We’re delighted to share our beautiful new range of Remus Christmas cards and our ever-popular annual wall calendar – both perfect for spreading festive cheer while supporting the animals in our care.
Our 2026 wall calendar features a special Remus resident each month, with stunning photographs and heart-warming stories that bring their personalities to life. These calendars sold out early last year, so if you’d like one, please don’t wait too long! You can order yours now from our online shop: Remus 2026 Wall Calendar.
As for our Christmas cards, we’re thrilled to introduce a brand-new and exclusive design this year: Festive Friends – a charming sketch capturing three of our beloved residents in a moment of festive mischief, featuring Charlie, Dante and Ginger the Cat.
Alongside this new addition, we’re also offering some of our most popular and unique packs, including Christmas Post, Home Comforts, Tea Time Drink, The Gathering, and Treacle – each featuring original hand-drawn sketches of individual animals from the Sanctuary. These designs are exclusive to Remus, by Mike Sherard, making them extra special to send, and to receive.
All proceeds from our cards, calendars and other gifts go directly towards caring for the horses, ponies, donkeys, and other animals at the Sanctuary. Your purchase helps us provide food, shelter, veterinary care, and warmth throughout the winter months – a time when our costs are at their highest.
So, if you’re looking for a meaningful way to support animal welfare this Christmas, please visit our shop today and order your cards and calendar. Every purchase makes a real difference.
Remus Horse Sanctuary’s Big Ask: Support Their Festive Wish List
As the festive season approaches, Remus Horse Sanctuary is calling on the local community to support their vital rescue and rehabilitation work by purchasing a gift from their wish list. The independent charity, based in Essex, must raise all its own income to keep the Sanctuary operating and to continue helping neglected and abused animals not only locally, but across the South East.
This year has been particularly challenging due to rising costs and persistent wet weather, which have placed additional strain on the Sanctuary’s resources.
Sue Burton, Founder of Remus Horse Sanctuary, who recently collected her British Empire Medal for services to equine welfare, said: “With costs continually rising and a lot of wet weather this year, it has become more challenging than ever to generate the income we need to keep everything going. We’re asking you to dig deep and support us.”
The Sanctuary’s wish list includes a range of essential items such as feed, bedding, and medical supplies, as well as practical items to ensure the animals have a safe and comfortable winter. Whether purchasing a bale of hay or contributing towards a larger expense, every donation makes a significant difference.
For over 40 years, Remus Horse Sanctuary has been a lifeline for abandoned, mistreated, and elderly animals, offering them a second chance at life in a safe and loving environment. Their work is only possible thanks to the generosity of supporters, particularly during the colder months when costs are at their highest.
To view the wish list and find out more about how you can help, please visit www.remussanctuary.org/product-category/animal-treats or contact Sue Burton on tel: 01277 356191
