This offers an excellent opportunity for the general public to see at close quarters the valuable work undertaken by the trust.

Sunday's Open Day, ideal for a family day out, starts at 11am and there will be ponies, donkeys, shires, horses, pigs, goats, llamas, sheep, chickens, peacocks and ducks to see. Pony rides, a barbecue, sideshow, the newly restocked Barn shop and teas will be part of other attractions, while Bobby Craig, a well-known farrier, who looks after horses at the centre, will give a live shoeing demonstration.

Admission is 2 adults and 1 children.

Pauline Grant, who founded the trust in the 1960's, has established a successful rescue, rehabilitate and loan system for equines in her care. It is the largest horse sanctuary in the south and currently runs a rescue programme for equines that have suffered neglect, mistreatment or are simply unwanted.
