Epona Trust

Horse and Pony Refuge

As much as we hate to ask

Beauty is just one of the horses that needs your help

We love having a large heard of horses at the refuge but the work is unsustainable during the winter months. We need to find new foster homes or volunteers and sponsors for several of our larger horses before winter 

Our priority is the safety and wellbeing of all the Epona horses 

Foster families must be active members and live within easy reach of the refuge

Our Beautiful Beauty

Epona Trust founder Ann Heighington and friends

The Epona Trust was founded by Ann Heighington in 1997.

A UK registered charity since 1997, and a French association since 2007, the Epona shelter takes in old or sick horses, ponies and donkeys, or quite simply those who no longer have a roof over their heads.

The shelter has no financial income and operates thanks to donations from the public and the help of a few volunteers.

If you'd like to support our work, please get involved

Become a member of the Epona Trust association and support our work on an on-going basis.

Help us to keep our horses and ponies healthy and happy by sponsoring. It makes a great gift for anyone!

Epona Trust relies entirely on public support to provide vital care for our horses and to cover our running costs. Your donation really makes a difference!

We need volunteers to help us in many different areas, from raising vital funds and promoting the charity to working on special projects at the refuge.

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED URGENTLY

We have OVER 30 horses and ponies at Epona that need daily care. Most of the animals are old or damaged and cannot be fostered out are Do you have some spare time to give? If so.

​  Please get in touch with us 

Foster homes needed urgently.

Financial pressure and old age always effects the animals we love. When circumstances change, many families have to give up the animals they have loved for years and they need your help today. We do not advertise lost souls on the internet, so please contact us for more information.
