Firstly, it’s hello from me; I’m Jo the new CEO of HorseWorld, mum of two SEN children, owner of two horses and a farmer’s daughter. You can read more about me and why I’m so excited to join the team on page 8. But it’s also goodbye and thank you to Petra, our CEO for the last four years, you can see Petra’s nal farewell on page 6. On page 14 meet Charlie, one of our young Discovery students. Read how Archie the pony is helping him return to school. Next meet Aura and Coco. Aura is one of our rescued ponies who we rehabilitated and then rehomed with Coco. Aura’s turn-around story and the partnership Aura and Coco formed saw the pair compete at The Royal Bath West show this summer. Retraining is so important to our rescued ponies, giving them a new purpose in life, which every horse deserves.The real star of the show is Soul. A brave lile pony who survived because the death of his friend alerted authories. For me Soul is a symbol of hope this Christmas and we hope that you’ll join with us to remember beloved friends and family with our Stable of Stars appeal. You may want to have your own lile Soul by sponsoring him either for yourself or as a gi. If you’re moved by Soul’s story and would to like to be a saviour beyond your own life please consider Legacy giing and our free will service. The nal note from me is a huge Thank You. We can’t do any of this without you. I look forward to geng to know more of you as we connue to work together to make HorseWorld the life-saving & life-changing place it is for horses and young people.

A record-breaking crowd enjoyed a day of HorseWorld demonstraons, hobby horse acvies and lots of horsey chats and cuddles during our annual Open Day. The event aracted over 2,000 people and raised over £14,000 to support the care of the 100 rescued horses, ponies, donkeys and mules living at HorseWorld.The day oered many behind-the-scenes glimpses of the charity’s work, including tours of our 180 acre site, talks and insights from the HorseWorld welfare team, guess the weight of resident mule Tilly and the opportunity to meet the horses on the Sponsorship scheme.There were also demonstraons from Wessex Working Horses who have rehomed one of our rescued Shire horses plus a demonstraon of a horse rescue by Avon Fire and Rescue Service.We are so grateful to everyone who came to make the day a huge success. We were delighted to be able to welcome so many people this year. We would like to thank all our supporters, volunteers and stallholders, they are crucial to the connuaon of our work here at HorseWorld.On 29th June HorseWorld sponsors were invited on site to have a couple of hours fun on the farm as a very special thank you for all their support. The horses enjoyed the aenon and our sponsors enjoyed the demonstraons, up close contact with their chosen friends and the chance to talk to the grooms who care for them. We will be running these events again in the future and all who have an acve sponsorship will be invited.

“It was a soaking wet, grey day in December when I received an urgent call from our colleagues at the RSPCA. A concerned member of the public had reported a dead pony lying next to a fence in a eld, but he wasn’t alone.I called for my colleague, Meg to come and help. We rushed to the locaon where nothing could have prepared us for what we saw. The eld was waterlogged and bare, and the dead ponyʼs body was covered by a tarpaulin. One small hoof was visible; it was obvious the pony who had died was just a youngster – barely old enough to have been away from his mum.  In the mud-lled eld shelter there was a small, thin, bedraggled pony named Soul who was tucking into a pile of hay with the urgency and desperaon of an animal who hadn’t had a good meal for a very long me. This lonely and unloved lile pony seemed to immediately know I was there to help. Carefully, my boots squelching in the snking mud, I slipped a headcollar on him. Was he injured, or simply starving and exhausted? I ran my hands over his cold thin body; he needed a vet, and soon.I had to get him back to the warmth and safety of HorseWorld as quickly as possible.I readied the trailer and Meg gently clicked her tongue at him. At her reassurance, he quietly followed her lead. For a moment he paused at the boom of the ramp – lied his head and called out to his fallen friend at the top of the eld.Of course, no call came back.With the rain beang down heavily on the roof of the trailer, the lile pony bravely walked in and once again started tucking into the fresh, sweet hay that was in there for him, and we began the short journey back to HorseWorld where he would never again know loneliness or hunger.Once he’d seled our vet gave him a thorough check and our team set about slowly building up his strength and helping him to recover from his experiences and the impact of his neglect.The pony that passed away was named Denz. A post-mortem examinaon revealed the horric extent of his suering. He had starved to death – a tragic consequence of the neglect of the person responsible for their care. The owner of the ponies was prosecuted for their suering.If Denz hadn’t taken his nal sleep where he did, Soul could have suered a similar fate. Denz saved Soul’s life. Even though humans had caused Soul nothing but suering, he is a lile pony who today loves being around people.Help us save more horses like Soul by taking part in  horseworld.org.uk/soul A rescue account by our Head of Equine Welfare, Sarah Hollistercan meHorseWorld 2024 Autumn / Winter Newsleer 5

We welcomed Petra as HorseWorld’s new CEO in 2020 and she led HorseWorld through a transformaonal period over the past four years. This year, Petra decided it’s the right me to priorise her family and horses. Before joining HorseWorld, Petra was Chief Execuve of Brooke Acon for Working Horses and Donkeys. Her decision to join HorseWorld aer 11 years at Brooke was driven by the opportunity to focus on helping horses in the UK and to develop HorseWorld’s Discovery programme which is now recognised as a leader in equine assisted services and learning acvies for children and young people with special educaonal needs. The programme has seen signicant growth in recent years.During Petra’s me at HorseWorld we have further developed our Discovery courses and connued to nd new ways that relaonships with horses can support the young people in all aspects of their lives.Together with Bournemouth University, weʼre discovering the incredible eects of interacons between horses, young people, and facilitators.In recent years and largely due to Petra’s hard work and enthusiasm for equine welfare, HorseWorld has become widely recognised as a reputable partner in equine rescue cases. We have connued to develop our horse welfare work with intervenons to improve the lives of rescued horses through horse centred rehabilitaon and training. One such intervenon is the introducon of several track grazing systems and in collaboraon with Hartpury University we have strengthened the evidence base of how this delivers posive benets to the welfare of our herd.You can read more about Jo on page 8.We send our huge thanks and very best wishes to Petra, and are excited to step into HorseWorld’s next chapter with our new CEO Jo Coombs at the reins! We are indebted to Petra who, in the space of four years, has transformed our charity from one of the best kept secrets to a recognised naonal leader in horse welfare and lifelong learning. She will be greatly missed by the Trustees and her team, but she leaves us with a robust strategy and structure to connue our exceponal work in helping horses and helping people.Desi Dillingham MBE, Chair of TrusteesSince joining HorseWorld, we have restructured the organisaon and embedded a new culture which has helped our amazing team here. I am condent the charity will go from strength to strength as I step back from full-me work to spend important me with my husband, my parents and my four Hainger horses. My commitment to HorseWorld will connue through a gi in my will, and perhaps as a volunteer in the future, maybe even a rehomer! Petra IngramHorseWorld 2024 Autumn / Winter Newsleer 7

Now that I’ve moved back to Bristol, not only am I able to share my passion with my own two children, I have the opportunity to connue to grow the great work of HorseWorld’s Discovery programme – an equine assisted learning programme which has helped many hundreds of young young people in the city.”Jo also brings charity experience to HorseWorld, having been a charity trustee of the Wooden Spoon Charity for seven years – a children’s charity supported by the rugby community.We are truly grateful for her knowledge and experse, which will greatly benet HorseWorld.

We are excited to welcome four new donkeys into our herd. Popsy and Jemima have returned from a long-term loan home and brought along their adorable bonded companion Brian with them who was very kindly signed over to us from another equine charity so he wasnʼt le on his own.We then agreed to take in Megan. She had spent her 16 years of life living beside her mother who suddenly become very ill and was put to sleep.On top of losing her mother, Megan was then forced to move homes as her previous owner unfortunately lost her land. Due to the stress, Megan became very overweight which can be dangerous for a donkey. The team have done an amazing job of nursing her through the stress and upheaval and helping her gradually reduce her weight. Popsy, Brian and Jemima have been wonderful with her, as have residents, Cowslip, Barnaby and Tilly and the whole group are now living together as a very happy lile herd.Meet HorseWorldʼs latest arrivalsCongratulaons to SarahBrianAt the Naonal Equine Welfare Council (NEWC) AGM earlier this year, our very own Head of Equine Welfare Sarah Hollister won the individual award for She was nominated as someone who had demonstrated an exceponal commitment to equine welfare, with her hard work and dedicaon having a signicant impact.

In February 2001 HorseWorld assisted the RSPCA with a truly horric case. On arrival at the site it was clear this was a very tragic situaon that had gone on too long before being discovered. There was a large variety of livestock and horses but unfortunately most had already perished and aer assessment by vets many of the animals sll alive had to be put to sleep due to the extent of their neglect . HorseWorld took two ponies from the site in an aempt to give them a chance but unfortunately one didn’t recover. The other mare did survive and regained full health. The owner of the animals was successfully prosecuted and received a prison sentence.In 2015, the worst happened, HorseWorld received a call from the RSPCA again requesng assistance at the same site. Six horses were found dead and the situaon appeared to be heading for a repeat of the rst me around. Many of the mares were pregnant and there were stallions running in the herd. Over sixty horses were rescued from the shocking condions with thirteen of them coming to HorseWorld. This became een when two of the mares gave birth in Spring 2016.As soon as our welfare team started to try and work with the group, we knew these were exceponally traumased animals. In some cases, it has taken years to help them feel that being around humans is a good place to be.One of the most feral of the herd was Sierra. She arrived pregnant with a foal sll suckling and a yearling we believe to be her foal from the year before! She gave birth to a foal who we named Perry (aer a police ocer that had helped with this and other rescues). When Perry was old enough to be weaned from her mother, the team worked on a gentle training programme that would give her the best chance of leading a normal life.Now, Perry is at the stage where she is so happy to be around humans, she is currently in training to become a Discovery pony, working with vulnerable children to also give them a beer chance in life.Others from the group have been able to be rehomed with carefully selected loaners. Finding homes for them has been especially challenging because they will likely be aected by their experiences for the rest of their lives. Pairing them with people who have the necessary paence and experience has been essenal, thus highlighng the complexity of nding suitable homes for such profoundly traumased animals.HorseWorld 2024 Autumn / Winter Newsleer 11

We would like to wish all the students new and returners a very warm welcome to Discovery.The term has started and we have lots of new students to Discovery enjoying the beauful weather which certainly makes transion to alternave learning so much easier. “Team Discovery, both human and equine have had a busy summer with training. The facilitators have been working through their Level 3 diploma in Equine Assisted Learning as well as equine training with a Brish Horse Society trainer. While the horses in training for Discovery have been working with their grooms geng used to the dierent acvies and praccing the large list of skills needed to provide support for the young people. We welcomed two new members of sta to the team. Lorraine joined as Discovery Operaons Co-ordinator and Jess as a Facilitator.

Empire Fighng Chance are dedicated to transforming the lives of young people aected by inequality through the power of boxing.

Charlie’s Discovery JourneyEvery year, HorseWorld’s Discovery Programme works with around 300 young people who are at risk of exclusion or who are experiencing life challenges due to their social, emoonal, mental health and learning needs.Students work together with gentle rescued horses to build condence, improve communicaon skills, and work together to explore a love of learning.One such student is 12 year old Charlie. He started aending Discovery sessions in January 2024 aer being out of school for three years due to not being able to cope in the environment as a result of his ausm and ADHD.According to Charlie’s Mum, he’s found more than just a sanctuary at HorseWorld; he found a family and a best friend in Archie, the horse. The uncondional support and kindness from the facilitators have reignited his hope and restored his faith in human kindness.He has got a big personality. He has really helped me because he’s another friend; like a human. He understands people quite a lot, I think. And he loves hugs! I love animals but I was a bit scared of horses at rst, but then I found a love for horses by coming here.Each week, Charlie looks forward to his Discovery session, which has become a vital part of his healing and happiness. The programme has been instrumental in transforming his life, providing him with condence and a purpose in life.Equipped with the essenal skills heʼll need, Charlieʼs next step is moving to a specialist school with a farm. His preparaon includes weekly one-hour visits where he engages with animals and assists in caring for donkeys.We’ll miss seeing him at HorseWorld but know that he’s ready for the next step and are proud to see his amazing progress.Charlie talking about Archie, the horse who has become his best friend.HorseWorld 2024 Autumn / Winter Newsleer 14

Rescued HorseWorld pony shines at the Bath & West ShowYou may remember Aura from our Spring/ Summer 2023 Newsleer where we told you she had come a long way and was ready to look for a foster home. Well she’s reached for the stars since then and has even taken part in The Royal Bath & West Show!In 2020 Aura was part of one of the biggest animal welfare operaons ever in the UK. She was found with a group of 130 neglected and suering horses living in appalling condions. HorseWorld, along with other equine charies collaborated with the RSPCA to rehome the horses.HorseWorld 2024 Autumn / Winter Newsleer 16

Page 17

When she was rescued she was very nervous, severely underweight and suering from worms and a lice infestaon. Thankfully, the expert care rom our HorseWorld team meant that Aura was able to make a full recovery.During her rehabilitaon programme the HorseWorld team quickly idened that the sweet natured Aura could be suited to join the Discovery equine team helping vulnerable young people cope with their social, mental and emoonal challenges. Part of the equine training process for some of the younger Discovery equines is to spend me in a foster home where they receive vital handling and some basic training.Aura found a fantasc foster home with Elizabeth Hembrow who was looking for a pony for her daughter Coco. We love seeing our horses and ponies thriving in their new homes. We’re thrilled that Aura has found her perfect home with Coco and that the pair are so successfully ying the ag for HorseWorld rescued horses and others around the UK. We feel an enormous amount of pride in the work we do at HorseWorld and seeing these horses, who oen have a very sad past, ourish in their new home is very rewarding. Since she came to live with us, Aura and Coco have formed a beauful bond and an everlasng friendship. Coco suers from OCD and ADHD and struggles with mainstream educaon. Aura helps her cope and face life’s challenges. Together they have been out and about compeng, joined The Pony Club and aend rallies. They have competed in a dressage series, fun rides and galloped across the Mendips, where they love unwinding together. Going to The Royal Bath and West show was a big step up for Coco and Aura. The show had a real buzz about it and I was very nervous for them both but every me I checked in with Coco to see how she was feeling she just said “I’m ne Mum, I know Aura is the best pony here and I trust her 100%.” She was incredible and I am so proud of them both. Aura has stolen our hearts. She is simply perfect.Elizabeth HembrowInspired to rehome by Aura and Coco’s story? HorseWorld have lots of horses and ponies who are ready to nd new homes.

Odee arrived at HorseWorld in January 2023, with her friend Daisy as her owner could no longer care for them. Soon aer Odee arrived it was clear from her sweet personality she would make a wonderful addion to the Discovery team, helping local young people in need. Odee completed her Discovery training with a breeze. The grooms were so impressed with how focused she was on her training and how she loved new challenges and learning dierent skills. Earlier this year, Odee became unwell. Veterinary examinaon revealed a heart condion. Despite treatment and careful monitoring, by September her quality of life was geng worse and the sad decision was made to let her go before her health deteriorated any further. She may have been small in size, but she had a huge impact and will be very sadly missed.Sponsorship updatesWhat an evenul summer our Sponsorship animals have had.

I love to be busy, helping everyone gain condence, and watching them blossom makes me so happy, whilst keeping my mind and body feeling young. Hello, Salisbury here, it’s been lovely seeing you all this year. I’ve been taking some me o from Discovery for a reset and recharge. During this me, I’ve connued my ridden training, having some amazing rides soaking up the beauful scenery at HorseWorld. The team think I am great at oering young horses’ condence in training, so I’ve been taking the youngsters out and about, oering them a shoulder to lean on. Sox I’ve been receiving lots of aenon from the Discovery students this year! I absolutely love having my mane braided and ribbons in my hair and tail. This summer has been so much fun. Iʼve loved helping on the Discovery courses and seeing all of you guys at our events! Thank you for connuing to love me, I can’t wait to see what next year brings.
