Story
Thank you for visiting our crowdfunding page.
We are Equine Gentling, a herd of 13 horses that have been rescued or re-homed to us. Many of our herd had been deemed unmanageable or dangerous and would have been put to sleep if we hadn’t taken them in.
Update 19 September 2022: Thank you so much for helping us to reach our initial target of £800 to buy hay for our herd during the prolonged drought. We are truly grateful, and thank you from the bottom of our hearts. All of your donations went straight to feed the herd and they are happy and well. We have now found some short term grazing to move to, and need a little help to get there. The horsebox hire to get our lovely herd to the new location is £250 and we need £230 to worm the herd so they are all ready for their temporary home.
Any donation you can make to help us cover these costs will make an enormous difference to our ability to feed and nurture our horses and continue their rehabilitation.
As you all know, not having a suitable home where people can easily and regularly visit our herd means that we have had to make the difficult decision to close to visitors. The loss of our visitors' donations means things are harder than ever.
Our horses graze as conservation horses do, on a rotation program that sees us moving between sites once the land needs resting, and we return when the land is ready. Due to circumstances beyond our control we are in urgent need of land to move to in around 6 weeks. Please email us at equinegentling@gmail.com if you are able to help us, and for a copy of our land management plan. Thank you.
Looking further than the next couple of months, we will be relying on kind monthly sponsors to support our herd. While our website is temporarily unavailable, please email us at equinegentling@gmail.com to sign up as a monthly sponsor.
Thank you so much for reading our story, and helping us to care for our rescued and re-homed horses. Love and kindness, Dan and the herd: Lady, Poppy, Jasper, Zanzibar, Bonnie, Remy, Star, Gatsby, Archie, Cleo, Blue, Triggy and Maisie xx

2 years agoWow! You have all helped us to get over halfway with this appeal! Thank you so much for your support. Only £315 to go to reach our target! The herd are happily munching their hay thanks to you wonderful people. They'd love to be eating grasses and foliage instead, and we are seeing some new shoots thanks to that brief rain, but it isn't enough so the hay feeding continues. Here's Jasper enjoying the hay earlier this week - a big thank you from him, and the rest of the herd. Your love and kindness is felt by us all, Dan and the herd xxxx

2 years agoWow - your support is incredible. Thank you to all of you lovely people. It was a relief to get a bit of rain this week, but the herd are still relying on hay so every penny you have kindly given us is going straight to that. Looking back at this picture of Cleo several weeks ago we can't believe there was actual green grass to eat...it is more like a desert now! All our love from Dan and the herd xx

2 years agoThanks so much to everyone who has donated so far. It means so much to us. Thanks to you, we've already raised enough for almost 2 weeks of hay, which is amazing. Please do share our crowdfunding campaign with your networks, and help us reach our £800 goal. When we were pushing two large circular bales of hay uphill this morning for the herd, your generosity and care were right there with us! Thank you on behalf of our lovely herd: Lady, Blue, Triggy, Remy, Archie, Star, Gatsby, Cleo, Maisey, Zanzibar, Jasper, Poppy and Bonnie xx
