Cecil's Horse Sanctuary

Many of our residents come to us with physical and/or mental health problems – some requiring special diets or ongoing medical treatment. Thank you so much!

Cecil’s Horse Sanctuary offers a loving permanent home to horses and ponies who are old, abandoned, neglected, abused or unwanted (horses and ponies who had nowhere else to go and, in most cases, would have been euthanized). Our ethos is for all the ponies to have a happy life where they enjoy just being ponies. They live together in herds and spend the day with their friends eating, sleeping, dri

nking and playing. They are fed, watered, cared for and loved. Many of the ponies have paired up and formed close bonds with another pony in the herd. The sanctuary relies entirely on donations, events, open days and the hard work of the founder and volunteers.. We receive no government funding – our ability to rescue animals and offer a secure and safe life for them, is dependent on our fundraising. We became a registered charity in June 2016. If supporters want to give a one-off donation to us, you can donate via PayPal at:

We would like give a big shout out to various companies that have supported us in recent months. We are very grateful to you all and without your support and the support of all our followers and individual supporters we would not be able to continue the work that we do to look after ponies.

As a registered charity it is hard to make ends meet so not only do you get to have fun with the ponies, booking a pony session is helping to feed the very ponies you meet.

There was a whole lot of rain today but Gee and McGee took advantage of a dry spell this morning to have a mutual grooming session :-)

Question of the day - who is the muddiest grey pony? Foxy, Patrick or John?

John wants you all to know that it wasn't just Patrick or Foxy who were contenders for the muddiest pony competition yesterday. He was also in the running!

Meet No-Name - probably the cheekiest pony ever. No-Name has a BIG personality and likes to get up to mischief. You always know when he is up to no good as he starts doing very exaggerated fake yawns!! Captured on camera here.

Post-breakfast grooming fest! What a lovely, lovely day it is - sun is shining, rugs (for those that have them) are off and the ponies are happy, happy, happy! :-)
