Things to do at Glenda Spooner Farm

Meet the horses

At any given time we are home to around 100 rescued horses, rehabilitating them so that they are ready for rehoming.

Visit our crewyard to meet some of them or take a guided behind the scenes tour of the stables to discover more about how we care for them.

You might even find one that you’d like to rehome!
