Rugs and stuff for horse charities?

[Mrs B]

I have been mucking out my horse stuff and have some rugs (don't fit M) with life in them yet and lead ropes etc.

Does anyone know if rescue charities want this sort of thing? I'll have the rugs washed etc (mostly 6'3" Rambos).

Thankies!

Equine Market Watch would make excellent use of them I should imagine. They have several "oldies" who appreciate the warmth a decent rug gives.

Thanks, all! Maybe I can send some to each? It's not much, but I would hate to throw stuff away that might keep a body warm and comfy

There will definitely be some charity (or charities) delighted to receive them. I had two 5'6" rugs (my boy is 5'9"), so I gave them to a local person who was fostering for the charity, and they were delighted to get them, so it doesn't matter if it's not much.

When we had a big clearout at our yard I took a load of stuff to our local RDA.

I think its a great idea, no point throwing them away if they could be useful for someone else.

On a slightly different note I have some cat items (beds, toys, bowls) that I need to get rid of, do you think a small animal charity would have them? OH said chuck them as (mainly the beds) are a bit hairy!

All animal charities appreciate donations, even old pillow cases or towels come in useful, or old curtains, dogs especially are very destructive in kennels

We sent a load of ours up to the TRC in Lancaster were we got our exracer from.

Try the smaller charities. Bransby gets so much that they actually sell surplus on eBay, so the money still goes to the horses.
