NewsFrom... Hillside Shire Horse
The Working Horse Trust... Record Numbers Visit
The Working Horse Trust were given a deadline by their landlord to vacate the land that
had been their horses’ home for 23 years. As much as they tried, they were unable to
find another site for their animals. Their last option was to contact Hillside to see if we
could offer a home to Celandine and Amber, two Suffolk Punch mares, Dylan, an
Ardennes gelding and Drew, a Shire gelding. We were pleased to help and all four arrived
safely at our Shire Horse Sanctuary to join the many other rescued heavy horses that
live there.
Dylan, Celandine, Amber and Drew, happily settled in at Hillside Shire Horse Sanctuary During 2017 we received more
visitors to our Shire Horse
1166 Sanctuary than ever before!
People were able to meet our
rescued animals, enjoy a visit to
our ‘animal friendly’ Cafe and
Gift Shop and even ‘Adopt’ an
animal, like Shire Horse William
(right). If you would like to
adopt one of our rescued
animals please see page 29 for
more information.
