Proudly Supporting the National Foundation for Retired Service Animals
The National Foundation for Retired Service Animals supports retired horses and dogs from the police; fire & rescue; prison; border force; and National Crime Agency services with medical and veterinary costs. When an animal retires, funding stops, and insurance is impossible to obtain due to age, making vets fees a real challenge. The charity motto is ‘Protecting our Protectors’ and the NFRSA is there when an animal falls ill, not only offering financial assistance, but emotional support as well. www.nfrsa.org.uk/ Charity No: 1200949
Please note - no onsite farrier for 2024 Ride
This year the National Foundation for Retired Service Animals was presented with a cheque for £3,000 from the proceeds of the Badminton Ride

Countess Bathurst from the NFRSA said . “We are all very grateful to the committee of the Badminton Ride, as well as Their Graces The Duke and Duchess of Beaufort, for inviting the NFRSA to become one of the recipients of the funds raised, which will go towards supporting retired service animals from the police; fire; prison; border force, NCA, and NHS, with veterinary and medical bills. The £3,000 could cover ongoing medications for members of the NFRSA family or help to pay for operations such as stomach torsions (the equivalent to colic in horses) and this wonderful amount enables us to 'Protect our Protectors'. We'd also like to thank all those who took part, including two retired police horses from South Wales Police, both of whom are registered with our charity - and may one day need our assistance, so it was wonderful to see them having such a wonderful day, despite the rain! “
