Redwings was founded in 1984 by Roy and Jean Germany who left in 1994. Wendy Valentine took over and formed Hillside in 1995.[2] Redwings is now the largest horse charity in the UK.[3] Redwings provides a safe home for rescued horses, ponies, donkeys and mules who have been neglected and ill-treated, such as those rescued from Spindles Farm, the largest case of equine animal cruelty ever seen in the UK.
