Do they spend their days talking about horses, drawing horses, reading horse books, and asking, "Mum, can I please have a pony?"
If so, you're not alone.
For many children, owning a pony is a dream. But for most families, the reality of buying a pony can feel overwhelming. Between the purchase price, feed bills, farrier visits, veterinary expenses, equipment, and the daily commitment of care, horse ownership isn't always practical.
That's exactly why we created the Adopt A Pony Program.
