Support a Space Where Everyone Can Grow and Learn

At Fossilfield Training Centre, every bit of support we get helps change lives — not just for people, but for animals too.

We’re a small, not-for-profit place that helps children, young people and adults who need something a bit different. Some are struggling with school or work. Some are feeling lonely or anxious. Others just need a calm, safe space to be themselves. We use ponies and nature to help people feel better, learn new things and build confidence.

Our animals are a big part of this. Most of our horses and ponies are retired racehorses. They’ve worked hard all their lives and often come to us tired, stressed or unsure of people. Here, they get the time and care they need to rest and feel safe again. With patience and kindness, they start to trust — and that’s when something special happens.

The people who come here help look after the horses, spend time with them and learn from them. It’s not just about brushing a pony or feeding hay. It’s about building a bond, finding calm and doing something that feels meaningful.

This kind of work takes time, effort and support. We need to feed and care for the animals, keep the space safe and welcoming, and make sure our sessions stay affordable for the people who need them most.

By supporting Fossilfield, you’re giving a second chance to horses who need care and rest, and to people who are ready to take small steps forward in life.

If you’d like to help, we’d love to hear from you. Whether it’s a donation or simply sharing what we do, it all makes a difference.

Thank you for believing in us, and in our ponies.
