🌟 Update on Stormzy & Spirit 🌟

We’re happy to share that Stormzy and Spirit have now moved into a foster placement 💙
These boys are such good youngsters, they loaded and travelled better than some of our older, more experienced horses! Both ponies are settling beautifully into their new paddock and we’re starting to think ahead to their future home.

We are looking for a quiet, experienced yard where they can continue to grow and mature at their own pace.

✨ Their ideal setup would include:

🌾 Secure, safe permanent fencing
🐴 Suitable companionship of a similar type
(or you could rehome both 😄)
😌 A calm environment with knowledgeable, kind handlers
🧑‍🏫 Ongoing education with daily handling
🏡 Following assessment, we feel these boys would be best suited to a quiet private yard rather than a busy livery

There is no rush for us find a home for Stormzy and Spirit as finding the right home is what matters most. Of course once the boys move on that will mean a space for a new equine (or two) in need. A place where their education can continue and their potential can be nurtured would be ideal.

If you feel you could offer, or know someone who could offer, a home like this, please get in touch and please share this post 🤍

A new year, and so many ponies out there just waiting for our help 🐴✨

This time of year, we reflect on some of the horses currently on site. These before and after photos really remind us why we do what we do.

What once arrived frightened, underweight, or unsure of their future is now healthy, confident and some are even ready for their next chapter in a long-term, loving home.

As we step into the new year, Fable, Silver, Pepper, Stormzy and Spirit are all waiting for the right homes. Could you give them the chance to continue their journey in a long-term, loving and knowledgeable loan home with you?

Thank you for supporting every rescue, rehabilitation, and second chance. Here’s to a year of hope, kindness, and happy stories in the making!

Happy New Year 💫

Our lovely boy Ned is here to remind you that we’re open today (Monday) and over the Christmas/New Year period. So if you’re looking to walk off the cheese and Christmas pudding and give your TV eyes a break, we’re here to help! ☺
We’re open from 10am–3pm every day, except New Year’s Eve, when we close at 2pm. There’s free entry and on-site parking, and our small Visitor Centre will be open for refreshments but will open at 11 and close at 2pm.
With so many hungry horses to feed and care for, donations are always very welcome 🙏
