At the present time the Heavy Horse Centre relies solely on income that it takes through entrance fees which is never enough to cover its running costs however we are in the midst of setting up a Charity for the horses this will enable us to fundraise. The charity will be known as "Heavy Horse Sanctuary And Education Centre"
If you would like to help the Heavy Horse Centre there are several ways of doing this You can "Adopt a Horse" You can buy food etc for the horses or you can set up a donation from your bank account.
