Horses - We always have a number of horses at various stages of rehabilitation with the aim of enabling them to be light hacks although in some cases a horse will only be placed as a non-riding companion.We currently have:
 Harvey
- 8 yrs, 15hh1, Irish Draught X TB. Harvey had
a difficult start in life so needs a very special
home with an experienced handler who has lots of
time and patience. Sadly he can only be
rehomed as a companion due to an old stifle injury.
 Kizzy
- 28 yrs, 14hh2, Cob X. Kizzy suffers from laminitus and cushings disease,
although is currently coping well with no medication. Her grazing must be
limited and her weight carefully monitored. She would be a suitable
companion for mares or geldings and enjoys human company.
 Squirrel
- 9 yrs, 11hh1, Shetland X NF. Squirrel has been backed and ridden at the
Sanctuary but due to no rider, will need more work. She is very keen and
would love a confident child to have fun with. She can be rather spirited
and has been known to show mareish/cheeky behaviour at times. She would make
a fantastic pony club pony with the right child.
 Angel
- 24 yrs, 15hh2, Cob type. Angel was found abandoned on the side of the road
and came to the Sanctuary as a 2 yr old. She is still full of life and would
make a lovely companion. She is generally very easy to handle but dislikes
the vet (especially having her teeth done) and has been known to rear.
 Cassie
- 14 yrs, 16hh, Percheron X. Sadly Cassie can no longer be ridden so would
be looking for a companion home only. She can be very strong and a bit pushy
but has a sweet nature. Cassie loves her food but suffers with sweet itch in
the summer months.
 Casanova
- 16 yrs, 17hh1, Cleveland Bay X Thoroughbred. Casanova is everyone's
favourite. He is very handsome and a real gentle giant. His mum died when he
was three months old and, as a result, he suffers with separation anxiety so
would need an experienced home. He has now been backed and currently being
ridden.

Gizmo
& Scott - who are 6 and 2 year old goats
respectively and kept as part of a free range herd
used for breeding. They have now been neutered but
have large horns and an experienced home would be
preferred.
Silver
& Chancey - are male, castrated large white goats with no horns who came
in as they are unwanted. Very friendly, looking for a new home. At
Church Knowle, Dorset, please contact
01929 480474.
Mary
- is a 14 month old land race great white x Gloucestershire female pig, who
came to us when she had outgrown her shelter. She is playful and
enjoys having her tummy tickled. She seems to prefer men.
Sheep - We have a
selection of sheep residing at Church Knowle of mixed breeds, sizes and
ages. Sheep will not be rehomed to anyone who intends to use them for
breeding purposes.
