Pablos Horse Sanctuary
Charity Number 1116394
Trustees Report 2021
It has been another highly challenging year;
-
The number of unwanted horses has been growing as we now have 99 under our care and a further 25 “fostered out” to caring friends and volunteers.
-
Volunteers have been under pressure to help with lockdowns, self isolation, and personal issues.
-
The opportunities for fundraising have been reduced and we have had to cancel events on several occasions due to corona virus issues.
We have been fortunate with the support we have received financially a lot of donations and gifts including a huge bequest for a supporter after her sad death near the end of the year. This individual bequest ensured our success for the is year and a stronger financial position in future years.
We are a sanctuary for old and infirm horses who can no longer be ridden and we always have a significant number of “special needs” residents which does have implications for the costs of such animals.
We encourage visitors to come and pet the horses (within the covid regulations) and thus carry significant Public Liability insurance. These visits have proven to have therapeutic benefits for our human visitors suffering with depression, loneliness and general health conditions.
As the country comes out of the impact of the virus we are hopeful for future fundraising opportunities.
We have taken up more land rented for our horses but it is widely dispersed in the Melton Area and this has implications for travel and we will attempt to concentrate our rented land in the future.

Audit Report 2021
There are no assets to report with the exception of the Current Account.
The horses due to their condition were not purchased and have no resale value thus they are not regarded as assets.
There are no significant levels of feed held as stocks since they are purchased fresh on a weekly basis.
The land where the horses are kept and graze are all rented on a short term basis and thus are not regarded as assets.
The vast majority of transactions are carried out through the bank account and especially this year there is very little cash movement but records are kept of all such transactions.
The accounts are checked and verified and supported by receipts to confirm all transactions.
There are no creditors or debtors.
The large bequest was dealt with by solicitors of the deceased and were in compliance with the statements laid out by the Will.
The accounts therefore represent a true and fair view of the operations of the charity for the year ending 32st March 2021.
