Remus Horse Sanctuary provides rescue, rehabilitation and lifetime care for over 100 horses, ponies, donkeys, sheep, goats and cats near Ingatestone in Essex.

The Sanctuary provides a safe environment for these animals that have been victims of physical and mental abuse, whether because of ignorance or malicious intent.

Sue Burton founded the Sanctuary in 1983 following the plight of the horses on Rainham Marshes in Rainham, Essex, where over 100 horses were left on the bleak marshland.  As the water inlets flooded, they became cut off resulting in 13 horses dying in the most awful conditions.
