About Redwings

Did you know? Redwings is currently the largest horse charity in the UK, and takes care of more than 1200 horses, ponies, donkeys and mules. That’s a lot of mouths to feed!

Did you know? All the horses live in natural herds with their friends and they only come and live in stables when they are poorly, so that the Redwings' vet team can take care of them. We have all types of horses and ponies, from tiny Shetlands to huge Shires, and they need lots and lots of love and care.

Did you know? Most Redwings' residents have been rescued and some are very nervous or quite poorly as they’ve had a hard life. We treat them all as individuals and try and make sure they are happy and relaxed at all times.

Did you know? As well as the Redwings' residents to take care of, we also have a Welfare team who give advice to horse owners around the UK and investigate cases where a horse may be being badly treated. We rescue around 200 new horses and ponies every year, and they all go to spend some time at our Reception Centre before being sent to one of our nine sites around the UK to live.

Did you know? We have three visitor centres where you can go and find out more about Redwings and meet some of our residents. They are in Norfolk, Essex and Warwickshire, and the best thing is, it’s free to get in!
