Pound Ponies... Pound Ponies...

Throughout 2019 we continued to take in horses and ponies who had ended up in Stray Horse Pounds across the UK. Abandoned and unwanted, these horses are rarely claimed and would have been put to sleep had we not stepped in and offered to give them a home.

Since the horse crisis began in 2012, we have taken in over 1500 of these horses alone. All stallions and colts are of course gelded and all horses are de-wormed and vaccinated. Many mares arrive with us pregnant.

These yearling fillies, through no fault of their own, found themselves in a stray horse pound. We named them Sarah and Sally...

In 2019, twenty of these in-foal rescued mares thankfully all gave birth safely. Because foals are often born in the early hours, our staff take it in turns to watch over the mares during the night to ensure they have veterinary assistance on hand should they require it.
