The RSPCA has two Equine specialist centres covering England and Wales. All of the horses and ponies will have come into our care as welfare cases. Some of them will have needed a lot of rehabilitation work.
Leybourne Animal Centre is a 23 acre site used for the rehabilitation and rehoming of domestic animals. In addition to this we are also a temporary holding centre for wildlife casualties. All the animals here have been admitted as they have had a welfare need identified by our RSPCA Inspectors, Animal Rescue Officers and Animal Centre Staff.
At Gonsal Farm Equine Welfare and Rehabilitation Centre we can care for up to 50 horses and ponies at a time. We only take equines brought to us by our RSPCA inspectors so all the horses and ponies in our care have been victims of cruelty or neglect.
