Our charity was founded in winter 2014 and established in response to a local crisis when 38 horses and ponies ere left abandoned in a field in Binfield, Berkshire. We are run by a small group of horse- loving volunteers who give up their time on a regular basis to help horses and ponies who have been abandoned or neglected, keeping them ‘SAFE’ and away from harm. The fundamental objectives of the organisation are the 3 R’s – Rescue, Rehabilitate and Rehome.
The horses come into the care of SAFE with a range of health issues, frightened and timid having had little or no human contact. The volunteers look after them, gain their trust over time and with the help of vets and farriers, nurse them back to a full bill of health. SAFE currently cares for 23 horses, all funded entirely on donations and with volunteers time. All were horses rescued from Berkshire and Surrey. SAFE are a Registered Charity: number 1172769.
