Rescue and Rehoming

The impact of our rescue and rehoming work

At HorseWorld, every horse that comes into our care has a home for life. Their welfare is always our top priority, and we are committed to supporting them throughout their journey. When a horse is rehomed through our trusted network of rehomers, it is always on a permanent loan basis. This means the horse can return to us at any time if circumstances change, ensuring their lifelong safety and wellbeing.

We carefully rehabilitate and retrain horses so they can enjoy a second chance at a meaningful life. Once ready, we work hard to match each horse with the right home, creating lasting partnerships between horse and rehomer. To safeguard these placements, our dedicated rehoming team carry out regular welfare visits to make sure both horse and rehomer are happy and thriving.

This tailored rehoming service not only protects the welfare of every horse but also allows us to manage space at our rescue site. By finding loving loan homes, we can continue to rescue more horses in urgent need of help.

Currently, over 190 horses are living in loan homes, mostly across the South West of England, and each home is visited at least once every year by our experienced team.
