SAFE takes in abandoned horses and ponies in Berkshire and Surrey. 90% of abandoned horses are colts - young, un-neutered males. These boys have to be castrated before they can be re-homed which is a costly operation . In October, 10 boys (including Badger, Henry and Teddy, pictured) were castrated, but unfortunately six of the operations were more complex than expected, and the vet bill has escalated, wiping out funds.

As SAFE goes into winter with 20+ horses in care, they have never been more in need of funds to clear the vet bill and prepare for the inevitable influx of horses cast away requiring help.
