Losing your pony, horse or donkey is not something any of us want to think about, but it is something we will eventually have to face. At Amber Lodge we understand how difficult this time can be, which is why we offer a reliable, professional and dignified service 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, whenever you need us.
Arrange a cremation
Your horse, pony or donkey is treated with the utmost care and dignity from the moment we arrive.
We work closely with you and your vet, supporting you with compassion, respect and understanding.
We offer a 24-hour service with no additional charge for out-of-hours attendance, aiming to be with you promptly.
We pride ourselves that whenever you reach out to us, we will be there to support you. We know how upsetting it can be when a horse suddenly dies or indeed the distress of making the decision to have your horse put to sleep. Where euthanasia is planned, we can liaise with your vet to be there shortly before or after they visit and will endeavour to come out to you promptly in the event of a sudden loss.
We will attend your yard, field or stable to collect your horse and transport them with great care to Amber Lodge, where we have dedicated equine cremation facilities enabling your horse to be cremated in their entirety.
Your horse’s ashes can then be returned to you in a choice of Goodwood bamboo casket, willow basket or scatter tube, according to your wishes. If you would like us to keep a lock of mane or tail, or remove shoes, please let us know when making arrangements and we will do this free of charge.

Scatter tubes are a practical way to keep your horse’s ashes safe until you are ready to scatter them in a special place, with a perforated section under the lid to allow controlled scattering.
*The Goodwood Casket is a beautifully crafted equine ashes casket in solid, environmentally friendly bamboo with discreet inset handles and an engraved nameplate fixed to the top.
The willow basket is a hand-woven wicker ashes urn, calico lined with a drawstring closure and a hinged lid, and is totally biodegradable, making it suitable for burial.
