Devon Horse and Pony Sanctuary with Brantome Police Horses

Devon Horse and Pony Sanctuary with Brantome Police Horses Welcome to the Devon Horse and Pony Sanctuary with Brantome Police Horses, page. Many of these would have nowhere else to go.

DHAPS is situated on Dartmoor and has been rescuing and caring for horses, ponies and donkeys since 1976 and taking in retired Police Horses since 1993. We are small charity organisation that helps to rehabilitate, horses, ponies and donkeys since 1976. We also offer a retirement home to Police Horses that have retired through injury or illness and cannot be ridden. We have many residents that are

with us for life and they are all very much loved and cared for but occasionally we have ponies that we find good loving homes for. We offer visits to small groups of people who would like to learn and benefit from meeting these amazing creatures. Please contact us for more information through Facebook or by email.

Hello Gallipoli 🥰🥰

Gallipoli has had a tough few months where he was losing weight quickly and just looked fed up with life, we looked at everything that could have been the problem and it turned to be a dental issue which resulted in having 9 teeth removed. The result was fairly instant as he was no longer in pain.
He is now on a daily diet of feed to help build him up again but today was the first day that we noticed the old Gallipoli was back!! ❤️❤️
Thank you Keith Evans Equine Dentist for being fantastic and our volunteers and staff for giving him everything he needs Kate Crompton, Emma, Aowyn and Chloe

This makes it all worth it ❤️ Kate Crompton

Our Story

We are a charity that rescues, rehabilitates, horses, ponies and donkeys that have been cruelly treated,neglected, abandoned and need a forever loving home. We will when we can, find a caring loan home for animals that can go back out into the community.

We also offer a loving and forever retirement home to Police Horses and other working equines that have to be retired through injury, illness and old age. We have always provided a beautiful environment for our visitors, especially children and adults with emotional or mental health problems. We also welcome workers from the front line who have been battling the terrible Covid 19 pandemic and need to spend time with our wonderful equines, in a peaceful and tranquil place.
