In January 2008 more than 100 horses, ponies and donkeys were removed from horrific conditions at Spindle Farm near Amersham, Buckinghamshire, in one of our biggest ever rescue operations.

The horses were lovingly cared for and rehabilitated by the RSPCA, Redwings Horse Sanctuary, World Horse Welfare and The Horse Trust.

Following a phenomenal response to our rehoming appeal in June 2010, we matched the horses and ponies in our care with special new owners.

And almost three years on to when they were first rescued, we caught up with some of the Amersham horses in their new homes.
