Do you own stables or a farm where you live ?? We often have feral, or semi feral cats who have come from areas that are too dangerous for them to re-released there. These cats sometimes are not happy in an indoor environment, so farms are a perfect place for these cats to be. It offers them freedom and they do their part to keep pests away. Even in these scenarios we do homecheck, the holding must have a suitable place for the cats to be kept in for 4/6 weeks while they get used to their new surroundings before being released. We can also provide temporary housing for the cats during their quarantine period before being released. Then all you need do is provide food and shelter for the cats. A happy fed cat will work harder to keep the rodents away as they'll have more energy. If you can offer our feral cats a place of freedom on your farm/stables/holdings give us a shout 😁 these cats will be neutered and chipped wormed fleaded South Wales This is the life of a farm cat He's free, he's happy, he's completely bonded to his new mum and to the amazing place where he lives.

Being on the farm isn't a bad thing, I wanted to show you this as there are mixed opinions on farm cats. They have the choice, some come around and when they do, its on their own terms and when they are ready. They are free to do as they please. Most farm cats like to be involved in all tasks 😹 but thats there choice.jobs include playing with the mice . They are free and neutered chipped and vet checked south wales area x

Hermoso was a bullfighting pony so he had to be brave but it has made him super sensitive in his old age but still certain things don’t bother him like scraping the moss off the roof !

What a stunning morning such happy content horses !

Nicky visited Dolly all the way from the Isle of Wight , luckily the gang and brought themselves in for a morning nap #horsepower # #horses #horse #horsesofinstagram

7 years ago Janie and her husband sent a very nervous Arab called Azuz , Janie had spent time with Azuz in building his confidence back with humans .. then in 2022 she sent Cayenne to retire with us from Dubai. It was lovely to see the reunion today with both horses ! Equitrans Logistics #equitranslogistics

What a sad morning we had to make a quick unexpected decision on Shinko this morning…. He was an ex racehorse who was loved by his family, he was always the clown and rug wrecker… he would pull rugs off the others horses and play like a 2 yr old . Always rolling and getting filthy… very sad day …

This is why we mix and match our herds … Froggie and Triunfo banter

Rugs off summers back !

Herd life … every horse before arrival is assessed to see which is the most suitable group to join . It’s very important to match personalities, physical abilities and dietary needs , here we have a mixed group with the perfect balance.

Our hearts are broken this morning after finding Celine in pain and soon after she passed away …. She was the sweetest natured pony I have ever met in my lifetime with horses . She was a super model, photo bomber , kind and nosey .. I will miss her not looking inside my house every day to see what we were doing , she arrived 8 years ago and immediately formed a bond with Oliver and they have been inseparable since , RIP Celine we will miss your smiley face …

Feisty girls

Yesterday Cody who was a very successful international ex flat racehorse had a visit from Mollie and her mother who retrained him after racing since then he has another owner but I am sure he recognised them !

It’s a hot day so Spotty and the gang came in to get out of the heat even Dolly who has only been here a couple of weeks has got the hang of just chilling

Our Story

Established in 1989 , Happy Horse was the first private retirement home for horses in the UK. The home is a ninety acre farm situated in a peaceful green valley, with lush, rolling green fields surrounded by mature trees and hedges. It is set in the heart of a National Park, in the midst of beautiful, spectacular countryside.

Our purpose is to create a haven where owners have the opportunity to retire their horse with maximum care and attention.

The Staff are highly qualified, motivated and committed to caring for our elderly equines.

Horses come from far and wide because of the reputation and trust we have built up over the years, at Happy Horse they return to their natural lifestyle and herding instinct to enjoy their twilight years.
