I adore horses, so loved to see the happy horses at Northcote Heavy Horse Centre having fun in their field in the morning!

The centre is based in Lincolnshire, near Skegness.   Their main aim is to give a peaceful, rich and rewarding life to the animals in their care, and to give them a forever, loving home. 

They also help educate the public on the legacy and history of the horse, and the impact of the horse on the world today.

The coronavirus has hit them hard

Like so many places, they have had to close during the coronavirus but they say the good news is that they will be opening up soon – we all  need to keep an eye on their Facebook page to watch for news!

This is very good news because the centre needs help if it is to get through at the moment.   The centre was opened in 1988 and it has had many horses and animals through its doors, giving them a loving, caring forever home. 

You can see their current animals here – not just horses and ponies!  There are also ferrets, pigs, alpacas, terrapins and turtles, goats and birds of prey!  One big happy family, needing help.

And this is Rosie, a rare Suffolk Punch – what a beautiful girl she is!
