Legacy giving
We understand that a lack of time and money are some of the key barriers to creating a Will. To do our bit and help to overcome these barriers, we are delighted to have partnered with Make a Will Online to be able to offer a FREE online Will writing service, helping you to join the many thousands of people who remember a charity in their Will each year. As we receive no central funding, we rely on amazing people like you to support our work offering horses and ponies the lifelong, life-changing care and support they really need.
The perception of writing a Will is that it is long and complicated. Our step-by-step platform will break down these perceptions and take you through the process with ease, and it won’t cost you a single penny to create your Will.
Gifts in Wills account for more than 50% of our income each year and we are so grateful to every person who chooses to remember us. Every penny genuinely makes a difference and offering this free Will-writing service is our way of making the process easier and saying thank you for choosing The Mare and Foal Sanctuary to receive a gift, no matter the amount.
Make a Will Online are an industry-renowned partner and they offer an award-winning, quick and easy online process, giving you the peace of mind you need. The Mare and Foal Sanctuary are delighted to be working with them.

Your data
When you make a will online we learn about the existence and amount of any pledges. If you want to keep this information completely confidential use this link to make a will online. We won’t learn anything about gifts left this way. Whichever way you choose to remember us – you are doing something incredible. Thank you.
How your support could help
From neglected thoroughbreds, unwanted and feral moorland ponies to orphaned foals like Ava (pictured), we have cared for them all. We have loved them back to health and made sure they have a happy future, living at our specialist yards and with loving families through our vital rehoming scheme.
As an organisation, we receive no central or government funding whatsoever, so we rely heavily on the generosity of our supporters leaving us a gift in their Will to fund our work. It means these gifts are of huge significance to us, regardless of size. Whatever your reason for supporting us, by deciding to remember us in your Will, you’ll enable us to provide a sanctuary for life to horses and ponies like Ava.
“I support the Mare and Foal Sanctuary because I am only too aware of the need for knowledgeable people to care for abandoned and neglected horses and ponies. In addition, the current economic problems in this country have resulted in even responsible owners being unable to continue to care for their equines. This has resulted in a major nationwide crisis that can only be reduced by as many people as possible sending donations, no matter how small. I know nothing about how to care satisfactorily for a horse or pony, all I can do is send whatever financial contributions I can to enable others to provide what is needed. Unfortunately, this situation seems certain to continue long after I am dead so by including the Mare and Foal Sanctuary in my Will I plan to provide one last gift for a better future for a few more horses and ponies.”
