Sponsor a Pony
Give a Gift That Transforms Many Lives
When you sponsor a pony, you’re not just helping to keep a much-loved animal happy and healthy. You’re also giving a child the chance to find confidence, calm, and a sense of belonging – all through the gentle guidance of a pony who once needed the same healing themselves.
From uncertain beginnings to lifelong bonds
Our ponies didn’t arrive here as the calm, gentle teachers they are today. Many came to us fearful, labelled as “dangerous” or “difficult,” written off by others. Some were in pain, neglected, or simply didn’t know how to trust people anymore.
We gave them time – sometimes years – to heal, learn, and rediscover their place in the world. Through patience, respect, and a deep understanding of their needs, they transformed into safe, steady, and loving partners for the children in our programmes.
Ponies who heal hearts and minds
Every pony here is carefully trained to work with children facing mental health challenges, special educational needs, or trauma. They know what it means to be afraid – and that’s why they are so good at helping children find courage.
When a child meets a pony who has overcome their own fears, something special happens: barriers come down, trust begins to grow, and both pony and child start to shine.
How your sponsorship helps
It costs around £4000 a year to give each pony the highest standard of care – including specialist treatments like chiropractic therapy, dentistry, hoof care, herbal remedies, and the best nutrition.
Your sponsorship of just £65 a year (that’s £1.25 a week) helps cover these costs and ensures our ponies can keep doing the important work they love. Give more if you can – the ponies promise to spend it wisely (and maybe share the odd treat between friends).
Your sponsorship pack
Your sponsorship is more than a donation — it’s a lifeline. It’s the reason a pony can stay safe, loved, and cared for. And it’s the reason a child can take their first step toward confidence and connection.
When you sponsor a pony, you’ll receive:
- Your pony’s story
- A beautiful photograph
- A Think Like a Pony keyring
- A certificate of sponsorship
You’ll also get quarterly updates, with a letter and photo from your pony so you can follow their journey and see the difference you’re making.
