TRUSTEES’ REPORT
FOR THE PERIOD JANUARY – DECEMBER 2024
The trustees have prepared and present their report and accounts for the period of January – December 2024.
Objectives
The charity’s objectives, as set out on the Charities Commission website are:
-
To rescue abused, abandoned and neglected horses, administering care and medical treatment as required. Work towards their rehabilitation and rehoming where appropriate.
-
For the benefit of the public, to relieve the suffering of animals in need of care and attention through abuse, neglect or abandonment.
-
To provide and maintain suitable facilities for the reception, care and treatment of such animals.
-
To promote humane behaviour towards animals by providing appropriate care, protection, treatment and security for animals which need care and attention through reasons of sickness, maltreatment, poor circumstances or ill usage.
-
To educate the public and raise awareness in matters pertaining to animal welfare in general and the prevention of cruelty and suffering among animals through abuse, wilful negligence or simply lack of knowledge.
To fulfil these objectives Blue Acre operates on 42 acres, accommodating and caring for elderly; abused, neglected and abandoned animals, mainly horses and ponies. We operate with a small team of volunteers none of whom are paid.
Overview
Blue Acre has existed as a horse rescue operation since 2002 but has had Registered Charity status since April 2016.
The charity rescues mistreated, neglected or abandoned animals to the extent they can be cared for responsibly on the land we have available. We are usually alerted to potential cases by the general public and follow all legal guidelines under the Animal Welfare Act 2006 with regard to recovering animals and often work with the RSPCA and Police services regarding potential rescues. Our aim is to rehabilitate rescues through step by step training and we assess each animal’s situation over many months before trying to find them loving, permanent homes wherever possible given the potential or limitations of each one.
HOWEVER , it must be clearly understood that most rehoming requests we receive are for ready made riding horses. Because we don’t accept horses that are simply unwanted or those that haven’t met the requirements of their owners, the majority of our rescues are difficult to rehome for riding purposes due to age, long term physical issues (which often require ongoing medication) or unpredictable behaviour due to past trauma. In such cases, the charity will provide permanent care and sanctuary for them at the Rescue enhancing their quality of life to its maximum potential until the end of their natural life. Should there come a time when this quality of life deteriorates then a decision to have the horse humanely euthanised is taken.
REHOMING PROCESS
Every horse we rescue is given a wellness check by our vet and, once they have settled into life with our herd, we start a programme of working to earn their trust and bring them to a point where they can be safely led; groomed; pick their feet up willingly as a minimum. Once at this point we then start the process of assessing their suitability for riding, assuming they have no age or inhibiting physical injuries e.g. arthritis, preventing this. It is during this process we might identify mental issues, often due to previous trauma, which renders them as unsuitable or unsafe ridden prospects which limits their rehoming potential. In this case we evaluate their suitability as companion only horses.
Potential owners are invited to the farm to meet any suitable horses and are invited to handle and groom the animal or to ride if applicable. Following this a visit to the potential home is made to assess suitability of the new home and it’s facilities. If successful and all parties agree a rehoming contract is signed detailing the purpose and any limitations on the use for each horse or pony. This document also states that the animal remains the property of our charity and cannot be sold under any circumstances, and if the current agreement can no longer be maintained, the horse is returned to Blue Acre Horse Rescue.
SPONSORSHIP SCHEME
We are currently promoting this via our website and social media and it’s proving popular. It gives people an opportunity to donate whilst sponsoring their chosen animal from our website https://www.blueacrerescue.co.uk/sponsorship helping towards their living costs in return for a “meet and greet”; certificate, relevant updates and the opportunity to spend time with their animal at the rescue by appointment. This is valuable revenue for us as it’s regular and therefore helps with monthly budgeting.
VOLUNTEERS
Our volunteers fulfil a range of duties both at the farm and behind the scenes along with some who help at events and during street bucket collections on an “as needed” basis. During school breaks and at weekends we have some younger volunteers who work hard to help feed and clean the animals and their habitats. They also learn all aspects of horse management and many have become proficient riders which is key to the whole process of rehabilitating horses and ponies for rehoming.
We collaborate with the ‘Ways into Work Scheme’ helping disadvantaged young adults develop their skills for the future and have several young people from the scheme who attend the rescue on a regular basis as volunteers, learning about the animals and how to care for them. We have also hosted young people considering a career with animals on their work experience weeks, working closely with local schools and their pupils taking part in the Duke of Edinburgh scheme.
We also welcome older volunteers, who may be retired but still active; or who work shifts and look for something worthwhile to do on their non work days.
2024 INTAKE/REHOME FIGURES
During this financial year our intake and rehoming/euthanasia figures are as follows:
Intake: 3 Rehomed: 5 Euthanised: 5
We are limiting the intake of horses to those who are truly in need. We’ve had to turn down so many requests to take in more horses but we simply don’t have the infrastructure; volunteers or grazing to support any more. The work involved in caring for so many horses over the winter period is phenomenal, so we need to manage the resources we have in order to operate ethically and efficiently.
Activity and Achievements throughout 2024
-
Replaced a lot of broken fences around the farm which is both practical and aesthetically pleasing. This work enables better management of grazing and allows us to rest fields, spray weeds etc.
-
Field shelters – 3 large shelters have been added to our fields thanks to funding by a local charity trust and by one of our volunteers.
-
4 ponies were rehomed by a local school which is mostly populated by children of serving military personnel, who often change schools and can find it hard to maintain long term friendships. The school has a unique outlook towards these children and support them in many ways. One of these ways is the inclusion of a therapy dog on site and now, 4 therapy ponies who live at the school during term time and return to Blue Acre during school holidays. Feedback has been that the ponies are doing a wonderful job!
-
We held a prize draw which raised £1,300. Many local businesses donated wonderful prizes such as Ascot Racecourse, local restaurants and many supporters donated prizes such as bottles of wine, chocolates and toiletries.
-
A 60’s dance evening was held at a local club
-
One of our volunteers raised over £2,000 by fulfilling a lifetime dream of trekking to Everest base camp – an amazing achievement. His sponsorship money was matched by his employer.
-
We received a grant of £10,000 from Trailfinders charity trust, whose owner lives locally.
Future Plans
-
Build a new hay barn to replace our old, dilapidated building which has been in place since early 1980s and has a leaking roof.
-
Build a cover over our outside feed pens to keep the ground and horses dry when feeding in wet weather.
-
Repair old and rotting fencing around the farm – ongoing work
-
Create an additional covered area to enable us to work with more horses. This is a large project needing a concrete base but would make a huge difference to how we operate and offer an improved working space for our vets and farriers.
