The Horse Trust’s Home of Rest for Horses has been officially reopened by HRH The Princess Royal. The Horse Trust is the world’s oldest horse charity and its Home of Rest had been closed to the public for almost nine months for essential repairs. The official opening event was attended by over 200 of the charity’s partners and supporters, including representatives from the Army, RAF, Police, many of the UK’s leading vets and some of its long term donors.
Her Royal Highness was given a tour of the new stables, and new facilities built to help the charity continue to provide the best possible care for their herd of 100 retired working horses and rescue horses. HRH also met a number of the charity’s equine residents including 19hh Big Klyde who was one of the largest police horse in the UK before his retirement and rescued foal Teddy who was found abandoned on the side of the road at only 8-weeks old.
