Why Harry Hall Team Is Proudly Adopting with Redwings
For over 100 years, we’ve been supporting horse owners and riders through everything from muddy winters to unforgettable moments in the saddle.
We know horse ownership is a lifestyle built on commitment, care and unconditional love.
That’s why, as a team of horse owners and animal lovers, in addition to our partnership with Redwings Horse Sanctuary and our Charity of the Year for 2026, we have also taken out an office adoption for their resident and adoption star, Callisto!
Over the coming months, we’ll be documenting Callisto’s journey with us, sharing updates from Redwings, celebrating the little moments and hopefully inspiring more horse lovers to discover how meaningful adoption can be.
Why We Chose Adoption
As horse owners we know what’s involved in caring for a horse. We understand the cost of keeping horses healthy, happy and safe.
We understand the responsibility that comes with loving them properly. And right now, many horse owners are feeling the pressure more than ever.
For many people, owning another horse simply isn’t realistic. But that doesn’t mean the desire to help disappears.
That’s what makes the Redwings adoption scheme so special. From as little as £2 a month, horse lovers can help care for rescued horses, ponies, mules and donkeys.
Coming up with the adoption idea in the office felt like a win. A genuine connection with another horse, minus the stress of ownership, what’s not to love?
Why Callisto?
When we looked into the Redwings adoption scheme, Callisto immediately stole our hearts.
Although Callisto was born safely at Redwings, his mum was already expecting him when she was rescued from a large group of horses back in 2010.
It’s one of those stories that really makes you stop and think.
Through absolutely no fault of his own, Callisto’s future could have been very different. If Redwings hadn’t stepped in when they did, he might never have had the safe start to life every horse deserves.
What You Receive When You Adopt
One of the things we love most about the Redwings adoption scheme is how personal it feels. When you sponsor a horse or donkey through Redwings, you receive a thoughtful adoption pack that helps you feel genuinely connected to them.
Here’s what’s included:
- Three postal updates a year from your adopted horse or donkey, including a Christmas update
- Your Adoption Star’s photo and rescue story
- Quarterly email updates with photos
- An invitation to their birthday party (which may officially be the cutest invite you ever receive)
- A certificate of adoption
- A factsheet all about your chosen animal
- A bookmark featuring your Adoption Star
- A twice-yearly Redwings newsletter or children’s magazine
A Different Way to Be Part of the Horse World
At Harry Hall, we believe horse ownership should feel more accessible, supportive and inclusive.
That’s one of the reasons the Harry Hall One Club exists. But we also know not everybody can own.
The love of horses doesn’t disappear just because circumstances change. When people for whatever reason don’t have a horse in their life, Redwings adoption offers a way to reconnect.
The Perfect Gift For Horse Lovers
As soon as we started talking about adoption as a team, another idea came to us. What an incredible gift this would make. Especially for the child who asks for a pony approximately 47 times a day!
And for adults? It’s equally meaningful.
Whether it’s a birthday present, Christmas gift or thoughtful gesture for someone who misses horses, adoption gives people a way to stay connected to the equestrian life they love.
Could your livery yard adopt a horse together? (Let’s be honest, your yard group chat could do with some wholesome messages between the rug debates.)
Could your riding club follow one rescue story together? It’s such a simple way to spread and share a little joy.
Go On! Could You Adopt Too?
If you already own a horse, adoption is a beautiful way to extend the care you already give. Or if you simply love horses, it’s a reminder that connection doesn’t always require ownership.
At Harry Hall, we’re proud to support horse lovers at every level from ownership to shared care, from riders to adopters, from lifelong equestrians to those rediscovering their passion.
From just £2 a month, adoption makes helping another horse genuinely accessible and helps Redwings Horse Sanctuary, who vitally need our support.
