	St. Mary's Horse Refuge is a registered charity located in Rochford. It is located about 6 miles from Southend on Sea.

It was established as a charity in 2003 and its aim is to keep those unwanted but loveable horses healthy, to provide them with homely conditions and give them a decent life that they can enjoy.
