Partners & thanks

We would like to thank

The Refuge’s employees work diligently every day to ensure the well-being of our protégés – feeding the horses, cleaning their stalls, taking them out to the parks, and ensuring that the premises are always clean and well-maintained. Many thanks to them for their dedication.

Foster families, with their love of horses, are ready to adopt a horse rescued from mistreatment, to pamper it and ensure it a dignified life. They are an important pillar of our action, and we rely on them enormously.

Our volunteers give freely of their time, and are at the heart of what we do. They’re always there to help, whatever the task, whatever the time, day or weather.

We have over 2,150 loyal, dues-paying members who support us with their encouragement, their presence at our events, and who also help us with occasional donations. Financial support is essential to enable the Refuge to meet the bills that fall without fail, every month.

Among our supporters are individuals and institutions who provide us with substantial financial support, but who wish to remain anonymous. With these words, we express our gratitude.

And we haven’t forgotten the people who haven’t forgotten us:

Among our members, we have people who want to perpetuate our action, and who have included us as a beneficiary in their wills. We warmly thank them for their generosity and their commitment to our cause. We can also inform you that Le Refuge has received bequests from people who are not known to Le Refuge. We are particularly touched by this support, which shows that our work does not go unnoticed.

The Refuge Committee would like to express its gratitude and appreciation to all those who have enabled the Refuge to exist, operate and continue its work in 2020.
