Story
The Epona Trust's home is with Russells equestrian centre in West End Southampton,
We work with riders of all ages, abilities and special needs to educate and involve everyone in our mission.
The Epona Trust (and Russells EC) has to move from your home of over 20 years. Our lease has ended, we were hoping to buy our present yard but it was not meant to be!
We have been granted planning Permission for BRAND NEW YARD!
The Planning cost and building cost has put huge pressure on us as we have to build the yard and feed our horses.
Our future is in jeopardy but your donation would help to secure it,
Please help us build a new home and continue our work.
This is being a huge upheaval SO we need YOUR SUPPORT!

10 months agoUnfortunately we have been let down by the builders which means more delays! Taking apart our home and yard with nowhere to go is a new level of stress. We are very grateful for all the help and support that we have been given by our friends and supporters - we still have a long way to go!

1 year agoWe Have finally started building and taking apart the yard, we had over 50 people help last 'strip out' Sunday and are starting to get everything ready to go, building taking down 20 years worth of work and still running the yard/taking lessons is defiantly a challenge. We are very grateful for all the help and support we are receiving at such a difficult time.

About CrowdfundingAbout the fundraiser
The Epona trust
Eastleigh, UK
Carol Boulton founded Russells Equestrian Centre in 1974 and then The Epona Trust in 1993 due to the number of horses and ponies that were sent to her because that needed specialist help. She is supported in the work by her Daughter Verity, part time staff and volunteers.
