Make a real impact
Not only are you giving a child a wonderful gift, but you are playing a vital role in supporting our work for horses in need everywhere.
How your subscription helps
Join Stable Squad and give a child a fun, educational experience while helping World Horse Welfare care for horses, donkeys and mules in need. The more you choose to donate, the more horses we are able to help.
Because every horse matters
We are the only charity helping all horses, no matter their role. This includes working horses, donkeys and mules, sport and leisure horses, as well as vulnerable horses suffering from neglect and abuse.
Food and a safe environment
We care for around 300 horses across four rescue and rehoming centres. £3.50 a month can help provide a clean, warm bed offering safety, rest and recovery for a rescue horse, £6.00 a month can help provide nutritious feed for a pregnant mare and £10.00 a month could help provide life-saving milk formula for an orphan foal.
Rehabilitation
We receive approximately 3,500 welfare concern reports each year and on average it costs £7,000 to rehabilitate a horse in our care to prepare them for life in a loving new home.
Evidence-based advice
As well as helping vulnerable horses all over the world, we provide horse owners and carers with trusted, evidence-based advice delivered through our website, webinars, at events and via our Field Officers.
If your subscription is a gift, please contact us by emailing stablesquad@worldhorsewelfare.org alerting us so that we don't ruin the surprise!
Stable Squad FAQ’s
Unfortunately, we aren't able to promise to deliver a particular Stable Squad mascot to you. However, once you're a member of our Squad you can add the other horses to your stable!
It takes around 14 days from receiving your order for it to gallop through your door. During particularly busy periods, such as Christmas time, it can take longer but we will always make lead times clear on our website so look out for updates.
Whatever price you pay you will receive our exciting Stable Squad Welcome Pack, which includes an exclusive LeMieux cuddly pony, Stable Squad magazine three times a year and invitations to exciting Stable Squad events. £3.50 a month is the minimum donation to join the Squad, but the more you choose to donate for your Stable Squad subscription, the more horses, ponies, donkeys and mules in need we can help.
