Some Heartbeat horses and their stories
To explain how and why horses arrive at Heartbeat, have a quick read
of this typical, though fictional, story of a new guest to Heartbeat Home
for Horses, written by the founder of
the charity.
We have a waiting list of horses wanting to retire
to the Heartbeat Home for Horses. With your
help, we will be able to take more oldies soon. Meanwhile,
come and meet some of our handsome present guests...
As you can see life is nice and releaxed at Heartbeat.
