cost of rehoming??

[jewel]

those of you that have rehomed a pony/ horse from one of the rescues/sanctuary. what were you charged to be able to have them.

It depends on the organisation - our local rescue centre charge a membership fee of £25 and a rehoming fee of £75, total is £100. Other centres just look for a donation.

Not mine but a friend asked about one of her horses he's a big 17hh WB & she would have been asked for £150 donation, cant remember what charity, I think he was costing her that in feed over 2 months! She never had the heart to send him though - Sorry that was to send him to the Charity for re - homing!

thats interesting as i phoned about a rescue pony last year and they want £500 for rehoming fee.

I think it depends on the organisation and what the horse is capable of.

Our local sanctuary charges £100 for a ridden horse and £50 for a companion plus an annual membership fee of £20.
I think ILPH charge something similar.
£500 sounds like an awful lot.

it put me off so i'd not bothered looking in to it anymore. i might look into ilph then if it only £100 ish.

I paid £200

When we rehomed a companion pony from the ILPH, we were just asked for a donation - so I gave £100. You also need to be a member, and I still am even though the pony was put down a couple of years ago. They were such a good organisation to deal with, so caring and checked my pony regularly, I'd never resent contributing to their cause.

Jen, if you are considering re-homing from the 'local' moorland charity - don't - without GREAT care. PM me for details. Don't want to identify the charity on-line.
