It is with profound sadness that we announce the closure of two of our visitor centres, Redwings Mountains in Forfar, Angus, and Redwings Oxhill in Warwickshire, following a period of staff consultation. Both centres are closed with immediate effect.

Thank you so much for all your support on this very important topic @DrNeilHudson ❤️
Our petition is still open until 4th March and more signatures on it only lend weight to the importance of this topic for so many. #KeepHorsesInMind

🐴I thank the @RedwingsHS Horse Sanctuary, with their #AdaCole Stables in #EppingForest, for raising the Petition for this vital Debate in the Commons.
🎆 Poorly managed fireworks can cause real fear, injury & trauma for animals, both large & small, and distress for many people.
@FlavellG@janetcwebsterb1 Any potential movements would take place once the process is concluded. All equines will be looked after and moved to the best site possible for them based on their healthcare needs and friendships. x
@janetcwebsterb1 At present the site is under consultation for potential closure, not actually closing. More information is available on our website - https://t.co/av3qj5PL09
🐴 Fireworks can cause serious distress and injury to horses 🧨
✍️ Over 180k supporters signed @RedwingsHS petition for quieter fireworks, which was debated in Parliament this week

#EquineWelfare
As a result, not all sanctuaries are equal and too often we have been involved in cases of severe neglect and suffering in places called ‘sanctuaries’. This has often led to Redwings offering spaces for horses like Ringo, who needed to be rescued for a second time. ❤️

Redwings welcomes the Government’s long-awaited new Animal Welfare Strategy. 🐴
In particular, we are pleased to see further consideration being given to the licensing of animal rescue and rehoming centres. #animalwelfarereform#animalwelfare

Redwings knows all too well how much knowledge, time, effort and commitment is needed to rescue and care for animals in need.
At present, anyone can set and run a ‘sanctuary’ without checks or even being required to register their existence.
