There's only one horse-lover who drives a white Range Rover and
wears golden boots.

Glamour girl Katie Price, fresh from her honeymoon with
cage-fighter Alex Reid, rolled into Wittersham to support the
village's Horse Refuge yesterday.

Owners Sara and Alan Ross have been given until next
Friday to leave Dobells Farm after the landlord raised their rent
last year.

Twelve horses which are too sick to travel would have to be put
down.

The big-hearted celeb donated pink rugs and head collars, took
Colin the goat for a walk and hung off a horse's neck.

Paparazzi hung round the gates and the star was tailed by a film
crew for her ITV2 show, What Katie Did Next.

The Kentish Express revealed this week that the refuge has not
been a registered charity - which is a legal
requirement - for 15 years.

Mrs Ross said forms were due to be sent to the Charities
Commission last week and the refuge will be fully registered within
a month.

But the former Jordan model, who owns six horses, said the
animals were the most important.

"I've just bought a house with 52 acres and I said I could have
them all to mine," she said. "But it's not that easy.

"Some of them are too old to even move. They've had trauma so
they don't trust people. I respect what the lady's doing
here."

The millionaire said the day was not about her giving her own
money.

"I'd like to do something to raise money, not just give money,"
she said.

"I've given my rugs and things - that all costs
money - so let's hope everyone else can."
