Remus Memorial Horse Sanctuary
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Remus Memorial Horse Sanctuary and animal centre provides care and rehabilitation for 200 horses, ponies, donkeys, cows, sheep and cats in the heart of the Essex countryside.
It costs in excess of £300,000 to run the Sanctuary every year, which is funded solely by donations, and with your help we can give these animals the best possible care so they can eventually be re-homed or enjoy a home for life at the Sanctuary.

Remus Memorial Horse Sanctuary has been so named in memory of the first horse we rescued. Sadly help came too late for him, but the tragedy of REMUS dying through wilful neglect provided the spur needed by the now formed charity to save others from a similar fate.
The Sanctuary was formed in 1983 following the plight of REMUS , who was starved for up to four months in a field, having been stolen by a horse dealer. Then he was left tied to a lamp-post outside the yard that he had been previously stolen from. But now he was emaciated, a mere shadow of the lovely horse he had once been.

For 13 days he stood without help. Rescue came in the form of concerned members of the public and he was taken to a horsebox for transportation to a Veterinary Hospital. Whilst being loaded, he was frightened by passing traffic, he stumbled, fell and, too weak to get up, he had to be pushed and pulled into the horsebox. He traveled lying down. Rescue came too late, his trauma from the months of depravation resulted in him bleeding internally. He died the next morning in the company of people who cared.

Remus also won an award at our Awards Ceremony in London 2011 for their outstanding work thanks to Sue Burton and her team.
