The Sanctuary was founded at Manaton by Sylvia & Terry Phillips in 1976. It was funded by them until 1980 when (to the relief of their bank manager) they applied for Charity status.  

Horses, ponies and donkeys come to the Sanctuary for a secure and loving home which allows them to live out the rest of their days in the peace and tranquillity of Dartmoor.

If you wish to visit the Sanctuary please give us a call to make an appoinment so that someone is available to show you around.
