Northiam equine centre for rest and retirement

Cares for: Equine

Since April 2008, The Blue Cross equine centre at Northiam became a dedicated sanctuary for permanently retired Blue Cross horses.

The Northiam centre caters mainly for retired horses that are not suitable for rehoming because they are very elderly or have medical conditions that require special care. It is also home to a small number of youngsters who are not quite ready to be transferred to one of the other centres for training and rehoming.

The land that the Northiam equine centre is based on was donated to The Blue Cross by a local lady called Kitty Comport in 1951. The centre now has 38 acres of land including some woodland with on-site stabling, field shelters and an all-weather arena. It has a capacity for 30 horses and ponies. Our new walkways, for visitors to view our residents are open at the times below.   

NEWS UPDATE: We have reached the end of consultation and we are now entering a period of review and evaluation of all the feedback we have received. We hope to have a decision on the future of The Blue Cross centres by the end of April or early May. Find out more about the Strategic Review...
