Welcome!
Welcome to the South Hants Pony & Horse Protection Group website. It's our first website so some of the pages are not fully complete, so please keep
coming back to visit.
Since 1977 the South Hants Pony & Horse Protection Group has been dedicated to the rescue, rehabilitation and re-homing of neglected, abused or unwanted equines in the South Hampshire area. We are run solely by Volunteers and have been at Oaklands, in Curdridge, since 1996. We have been a registered Charity since 1977 and are members of the National Equine Welfare Council.
At Oaklands, we have stables and 8 acres of grazing, which requires careful management. This means we are limited to about 8 equines at any one time on the premises, and some of those that come to stay with us often spend many months with us before they are fit and ready to go to new adopters. Some of
our residents will stay with us for the rest of their lives.
For photo's of some of our horses please follow the link below (the site is still being developed so pictures are being added regularly)

Visits To Oaklands
Although we always welcome visitors to Oaklands we are a volunteer run group and cannot be available 24 / 7 and do not have opening hours. Our priority lies with the horses in our care who have a set daily routine so that we can balance their needs alongside those of our volunteers. If you would like to pay us a visit please call us on (01489) 790982 to arrange a date and time convenient to all parties in order to make your visit worthwhile.
Please also note that emergency's or urgent calls aside we operate normal office hours for receiving phone calls.
Hot Topics!
We often get telephone calls from concerned members of the public. When Hot Topics arise, such as tethering, we will post information here.
