A MESSAGE FROM MRS OLIVE LOMAS We all love horses. We care for them, admire them and would never want to see any harm to come to them. Unfortunately, cruelty and neglect, is a fact of life. It’s going on all around us all over the world. Very few people put themselves on the line to rescue the unfortunate animals who fall victim, through no fault of their own, to cruelty and neglect. For every Robin or Rebel stood in the loose box warm and cosy tonight, there is some poor horse or pony stood hungry, thirsty, cold, wet and lonely.

Let’s not forget though the reason for our existence... Horses needing caring home safe from cruelty and neglect ...without your help many animals who we could save would be left to suffer.

Please make ONLY FOALS AND HORSES part of your life.

“Imagine the trauma of a mare and foal grazing peacefully in a field for up to four months and then suddenly the foal is taken away from its mother and loaded into wagons with other frightened foals and taken to the nearest auction.”
OLIVE LOMAS

“At auction few are bought for private homes, the majority end up bought by dealers, or the dreaded ‘meat-men’, involving hundreds and hundreds of foals each year and is as prevalent today as it was in 1991 and for years before that.”

“We found ourselves rescuing - not only foals but horses - as well. This sounded increasingly familiar as we realised we may be infringing on John Sullivan’s copyright, scriptwriter of Only Fools and Horses. A letter was quickly sent off and some time later a reply with his approval and a donation was received, hence the name; Only Foals And Horses.”
