Love em or hate em, with more and more horses suffering in the rising equine crisis, more and more homes, both permanent and foster, are needed for the rising number of horses coming into the care of rescues including the RSPCA. It cost the RSPCA charity £3.2 million to care for the horses in their care last year, NOT including vets bills. If anyone can offer a home to any of these, please please offer help.

Charities cant keep taking endess dumped/unwanted horses, and then expecting to find homes for them all. These carelessly bred animals arent to blame for their owners incompetence , but really some of these animals are going to have to be PTS, otherwise the welfare system will collapse. I would suggest older horses,young unbacked ones, very poor conformation or health difficulties do not merit the cost and time to rehome.
 
^but by the same token, if you're taking on a horse that may have issues and you don't know, some people may actually prefer a young unbacked one. With the thought that they are a clean slate?
