Charity Christmas Cards to help horses and donkeys
 | It's still early for Christmas cards and many charities are feeling the impact of COVID-19 and the economic climate and all our costs going up and up, so please either find another way to help and/or come back to this page, as I will keep updating it. It's also worth taking a look at their gift and shop sections as many have wonderful virtual gifts giving working animals the help they need, whether it's veterinary treatment or water troughs, and educating young people about horse and donkey welfare. And many charities run adoption schemes so that you can adopt a donkey or adopt a horse (or sponsor them, depending on the term used by the charity) and give adoption gifts. The cards pictured left are available from the Hillside Animal Sanctuary who care for 4,000 horses, ponies, donkeys, cows, and other animals. They have more Christmas cards and gifts here including a calendar for 2025. |

| The Northcote Heavy Horse Centre in Lincolnshire has been caring for horses of all sizes from miniature ponies and Shetlands to Shires and Clydesdales for over 25 years. It is both a visitors centre and an equestrian sanctuary providing a forever home to horses & animals in need. You can donate, and they also have an Amazon wish list. Or why not donate a bale of hale, or sponsor a horse? |  |

| The Horse Trust calendar is just wonderful! I know, because I've had one for 2022 and 2023 and 2024 and I can't wait to see the one for 2025! Their calendars feature horses and ponies who have been rescued by the Trust or who are living out their retirement days there. Many of these have served in the Forces or the Police, or they've been therapy ponies or they've been rescued. The quality of the calendar is great, too. They have Christmas cards, too! Take a look at the Horse Trust's Christmas shop. |  |
