PAUL RODGERS Named Patron Of UK Racehorse Sanctuary

June 8, 2011

According to his official web site, legendary rock singer Paul Rodgers and his wife Cynthia have been named Patrons of England's premier Racehorse Sanctuary and Re-Homing Centre during their recent visit.

A self-funded charity that re-homes the horses, it can while most of the unwanted ex-racehorses, some who were due for slaughter, stay at the sanctuary. They have been involved since 2007, one year after its inception.

Introduced to the situation of these creatures by singer and friend Deborah Bonham, a Trustee, Paul and Cynthia feel, "The spirits of these magestic, intelligent animals shine through in their eyes. After they have given so much to the racing industry it is only humane to care for them while they live out the remainder of their natural lives. We are moved to be named Patrons of such a heart and soul driven, self-funded charity."
