We rescue ponies and horses from hardship, whether through owner ill health, welfare issues, or abandonment. With care, patience and love we support each horse's recovery, both physically and mentally. Those ponies who will enjoy it and who possess a calm and gentle nature may be trained to spend time with children and adults in an equine assisted learning environment. These ponies may carry out their work in a number of settings, often with children in hospitals, schools and hospices, as well as visits to our yard. Some ponies may be placed in loving loan homes, and some will stay with us in peace to see out their days.
Helping ponies in need, and through them helping young people, is my passion...

Many of the images on this website were taken by Aga Karmol (also see Aga on facebook), a talented and generous equine artist and photograpgher, who recently gave her time to visit and take some pictures of our rescue ponies and liveries (and our amazing farrier John Berwick at work!).
