Our 2 new arrivals, Jack and Lucky are doing well.  You can now see some pictures of them at the top of this page, and also in our photo gallery.

Jack (the bay) is the brave boy! He will be a really good little riding horse for someone in the future.  Lucky is more nervous, but he is responding very well to Geoff and with a bit of TLC and time, he will be fine.

It will be some time before they are ready for rehoming, but we will keep you updated .

JACK & LUCKY

Based in rural North East England, Equorum is a charity dedicated to the welfare of horses, donkeys and ponies that have suffered cruelty, neglect, or are unwanted. Horses referred to us come from a variety of sources, such as the RSPCA.  We also attend livestock markets, where sadly there are often cases of obvious neglect and abuse.

Many horses that have suffered such ill-treatment are so traumatised that they require specialised feeding, nursing care and often need extensive behavioural therapy to facilitate a return to complete physical health and happiness.

Please make a donation, or if you can - take a collection tin for your shop/office. Every penny sent to us by you is spent on caring for, and improving the lives of horses that have suffered poor treatment or neglect.

Contrary to popular belief, we cannot obtain grants or funding from sources such as the lottery, as animal welfare is excluded from the vast majority of funding providers, so we rely on kindness!

To find out how you can help in other ways, such as becoming a volunteer, please follow the links on the menu.

Everything that you do will be very much appreciated and will help to make a difference.

HOW CAN YOU HELP US TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE?

16TH September 2010 at 7.30pm Alnwick Working Men’s Club, Clayport Street.  Alnwick

We will be holding a Charity Auction to help raise funds for Equorum.  The money raised will go towards setting up a small NVQ Centre for vulnerable individuals wishing to study horse care and who have mild learning difficulties and/or require some form of occupational therapy.

This will be a big step forward for Equorum. Many horses in rescue centres are deemed “useless” and this is our way of showing that this is definitely not the case. Horses are used in many areas of occupational therapy and individuals who may struggle in a faster pace commercial yard will benefit from the way that we work.  The horses will also benefit from the added attention!

All kinds of Auctionable items will be welcome.  If you feel that you can let us have something that we could sell on 16th Sept - please email us with details.  We will (as always) be very grateful!
