During December and January, we asked for your support in fundraising for the Special Care Barns that provide care for animals like Noddy, Charlie, and Honey upon their arrival at the Sanctuary,

We are delighted to share that with the help of your donations we have one up and running already!

We want to thank you for all your support and generous donations that have helped us build the Special Care Barns.

These stables provide a clean and safe environment where medical care can be safely administered to the neediest ponies arriving at Hillside.

A big thank you from all of us.

*FUNDRAISING CAMPAIGN FOR TWO SPECIAL CARE STABLES*

Noddy, Charlie, and Honey have all been cared for in special care stables, at Hillside, upon their arrival.

In these facilities, they can be cared for around the clock with volunteers and staff on hand to care for their every need, on demand.

These stables provide a clean and safe environment where medical care can be safely administered to the neediest ponies arriving at Hillside.

However, there is simply not enough of them.

*Each special care stable costs £3,000 to build so we are hoping to reach £6,000 in donations so that we can build two more.*

Every penny counts! Please give what you can.

THANK YOU TO EVERYONE THAT HAS DONATED SO FAR - WE REALLY APPRECIATE IT.

We can receive donations in the form of cheques, card payments, or directly through our website via the link here:

Please send any cheques to our postal address:

As the year ends, we would like to thank all our supporters for your kindness and generosity.

The herd is settled and happy in their new surroundings at Hillside, and it is thanks to your donations, that we can continue to care for and rescue ponies in need.


From all of us here at The Fforest Uchaf Horse and Pony Rehabilitation Centre, we would like to take this opportunity to wish all our followers a very happy holiday season, and a Happy New Year.

At the beginning of the year we saw a cold winter, so it is delightful to see the Ponies are now out in the fields and enjoying the grass.
