This campaign has now closed

To purchase a base from which all of our pursuits can run. The area we have in mind is a peaceful woodland, water meadow and grazing plot on the edge of the village of Shrewton. It is 19 acres, allowing us to grow our Horticultural Therapy and Equine Assisted Therapy as well as the outdoor pursuits

    Situation

    The project is to raise the money to purchase the site. The problems we encounter at our current premises are lack of space for all other activites as well as safe and varied hacking out. The riding numbers have increased and we are unable to keep any more ponies on the current area due to ABRS guidelines. We will not over work our current horses and so require a bigger area in order to house some more animals.

    Solution

    By raising the funds the project will enable us to purchase the new site, which would solve our problems; providing storage space for equipment, grazing for horses and areas for cycling, horticulture, conservation, orienteering and peace & quiet. The plot has a small road along one edge, which is all we need to cross to have access to bridleways and the open Plain, whether on bike, foot or horse. There is the scope to increase our herd size as the need arises, without compromising equine welfare
