Rehome a rescue horse | RSPCA - RSPCA
Video: How to adopt a horse
We have two specialist equine centres covering England and Wales - located in County Durham and Shropshire. Our centres in Wales also have a selection of ponies for rehoming.
Experienced homes
All of the horses and ponies will have come into our care as welfare cases. Some of them will have needed a lot of rehabilitation work. Experience with horses and patience is a must!

Looking for your first horse?
A lot of our horses will not be suitable for first time horse owners.
If you have no experience in horse care, why not try to do some basic qualifications in stable management? Be sure to combine this with practical experience as well.
The British Horse Society runs Horse Owner Certificate courses which are in-depth and comprehensive. There may also be training courses you can attend locally, usually organised by local riding schools.
Adoption fees
We ask for an adoption fee if you rehome one of our rescue horses or ponies. Prices start from £150.
