Horses, ponies, goats & more

The Essex Horse and Pony Protection Society has been fighting equine cruelty across the County for the past twenty years. 

Its policy is to rescue, rehabilitate and, where possible, rehome horses and ponies under its fostering scheme.

Every horse re-homed in this way creates a space for another needy case to be admitted into its care.

Please go along and see the wonderful work being done for yourselves.

The Sanctuary welcomes visitors every Sunday afternoon and on Bank Holidays - (12 am until 4 pm in the winter months and 12 am until 5 pm during the summer).

Animal Sanctuary is a non-profit making organisation devoted to creating a better quality of life for sick, unwanted and mistreated animals. There are about 200 rescued animals at Hopefield at the moment (mainly horses, ponies, donkeys, pigs, sheep, cows and goats). It costs about £1000 a week to run Hopefield and that does not include any vets fees. In the winter an extra 150 bales of straw and hay each week are needed and the running costs are almost £1500 a week. As many of Hopefield's animals come to the Sanctuary with long-term illnesses or complications, vets fees are high (at least £1000 a month). As you can imagine, finding this amount of money is a constant struggle so please support Hopefield. Paula and Ernie would like to thank all their supporters over the years - they would not have been able to keep the Sanctuary going without you!
