Enygma, or Wash Bear as she is known at the centre, is on loan from World Horse Welfare Penny Farm. BTRC are delighted to be able to work with and support World Horse Welfare, whose mission is to work with horses, horse owners, communities, organisations and governments to help improve welfare standards and stamp out horse suffering in the UK and worldwide.

At just 7hh Emygma  is definitely the smallest BTRC resident but has settled in really well despite some initial funny looks from our thoroughbreds!

If you would like to find out more about their work or are looking to rehome a horse or pony take a look at their website www.worldhorsewelfare.org.
