Mountains Animal Sanctuary

Mountains Animal Sanctuary is based near Forfar in Scotland. It was founded in May 1982 and became a registered charity in 1984, with the sole charitable activity of equine welfare.

The purpose of Mountains is to provide a haven with food, shelter and medical treatment for equines rescued from cruelty or neglect. It also provides a home and cares for equines that require essential medical treatment that would otherwise not be available to them.

The aim of the sanctuary is to aid and achieve the physical and mental recovery of the animals, with priority given to improving the quality of life of the animals. After rehabilitation, a small number of equines are placed in nearby monitored loan homes.

Mountains is a member of the National Equine Welfare Council and has always had a good working relationship with The Blue Cross – providing a home to 25 of our equines over the years, and currently caring for seven.

The Sanctuary is the largest equine charity in Scotland, covering 260 acres and caring for 145 horses, ponies and donkeys. Facilities include a purpose-built hospital, which can provide indoor stabling for 25 equines, an isolation unit, veterinary operating and treatment room, indoor schooling area and associated yard facilities. A new visitor centre, opened in 2004, assists with fundraising and provides essential education.
