What an amazing transformation for Mrs B! We are so thrilled to see the change in her ❤️

Some of the ponies making the most of the afternoon sun 🌞

They’re enjoying a bit of extra grass at the moment as we slowly start to move them off hay, and it’s safe to say they’re not complaining.

Nothing better than a quiet field, good company, and a patch of fresh grass.

This is the kind of update we love to see 💛

Bluey arrived with us unable to be handled at all due to past mistreatment, even wearing a headcollar wasn’t possible.

With time, patience, and a gentle approach, she began to make progress.

Now, in her new home, she’s come even further, able to be touched and wear a headcollar, something that once felt a long way off.

A huge thank you to her loaner for continuing that work and giving her the calm, understanding home she needed. This is exactly what the right home can achieve.

With diesel shortages and fuel prices the way they are, we may have found the solution…

What an inspiring story!

We’ll pop a link in the comments to some of our ponies looking for homes, just in case anyone fancies upgrading their daily commute 🐴

A few weeks' back I did a couple of posts on people teaching their horses to drive in WW2, when there was petrol rationing.

Here is someone who did just that, and who drove into the office. Cecilie Hall worked in central London, and used to drive in to the office from her home in Epping Forest, a distance of about 16 miles.

When petrol rationing came in, she and her young pony both learned together: "very rapidly we taught one another our ideas about driving, with quite successful results."

Of course the vital thing once you have got as far as the office is finding somewhere for pony (and indeed trap) to wait until you're ready to go home. The answer to this really does show it was a different world then:

"This is an easier problem that you'd think, because you'll find that in every town, besides the usual one or two riding schools and livery stables, there are tucked away just around the corner, stables belonging to the milkman or the baker ... and they will all be only too interested in the enterprise. I'm very lucky in that there is a stable just across the road from my office where they look after the pony for me."

Cecilie was (entirely understandably) very worried about how the pony might react to the London traffic, and so made their first journey on a Sunday evening. But again, things went well. She said:

"Driving successfully in thick traffic is, as I very soon, discovered, simply a matter of keeping the pony well up into his bridle, and anticipating what the other trafffic is going to do. I've found it continually fascinating to study the horse's point of view... These differences of opinion are liable to crop up over very petty little points, and they must be foreseen and avoided at all costs."

The only drawbacks Cecilie found were the early morning starts, and getting very wet when it rained. Otherwise she said of driving into the office, "I don't know why many more people don't."

Shannon, Indy and Black Beauty (BB) making the most of some fresh grass in the evening sun 🌅

They’re gradually being introduced to more grass as we wean them off hay.

BB wasn’t taking any chances though, he thought we might take him away from it, so kept well out of reach just in case!

We urgently need help to keep going.

For years, our horses lived on our own land, where they were settled, safe, and cared for by the same small group of volunteers who have dedicated their lives to them.

Following a planning dispute with the National Park Authority, we were required to remove all of our rescued horses from our own land.

This meant moving every horse away from the only home many of them had ever known.

It also meant taking on significant new costs just to keep them safe and cared for.

For a small, volunteer run charity, this has put us under serious pressure.

We are doing everything we can ourselves to get through this. But we cannot do it alone.

We are trying to raise £41,176 to stabilise the charity and keep this work going.

If enough people give a small amount, we can get through this.

I just need the right person to give me a chance 💛

I’m Izzy, I’m about 10 years old and 14hh, and I’m looking for someone patient and kind.

I like people, I really do. But I haven’t always been treated well, so I can get worried when I meet someone new. It might take me a little time to trust you.

Once I do, I’ll try my best for you.

I’m unbroken, so I need someone experienced who can bring me on gently. I don’t want a busy life, just quiet days, kind handling, and maybe some gentle hacks in the future.

I live out with other horses and love being part of a herd, so I’ll need that in my new home too.

I can be a bit bargy if I feel unsure, but with someone who understands me, I settle and want to please.

⭐NEWLY AVAILABLE FOR REHOMING! ⭐

Shanon is the kind of horse everyone loves having around 💛

Before anything else, we are currently trying to raise funds to keep the charity going. If you’d like to support us, our fundraiser is here:

🐴 Shannon is a 22 year old Appaloosa mare (15hh) looking for a kind, knowledgeable home. 🐴

She’s a lovely, good natured mare who is easy to handle and a pleasure to be around. She has been ridden in the past, but hasn’t been in regular work recently, so any return to riding would need to be slow and sensible. Due to some stiffness, she would only be suitable for light hacking a few times a week once fit.

Shannon has uveitis and has lost sight in one eye. This doesn’t affect her day to day life, but she does need a home where she will be checked regularly and have her routine managed properly, she isn’t a horse to be left and forgotten.

She would make a very rewarding companion in the right home.

📍 Yorkshire or Cheshire

If you think you could offer Shannon a long term home, please apply here:

Please share to help us find her the right home.

£2,000 raised. Thank you!!!

That’s over £2,000 from people who have chosen to help us keep going, and it genuinely means a lot.

For a small, volunteer run charity like ours, that kind of support makes a real difference. It shows people care, and it’s helping us move forward through an incredibly challenging situation.

But we’re not there yet.

We are trying to raise money to get through this and protect the future of the charity, and we need to keep this momentum going.

If you’ve been thinking about donating, now would really help. If enough people give a small amount, we can get there - this is proof!

If you can’t donate, sharing this is also really important!

We need volunteers to help us keep going 💛

We’ve had lots of kind messages asking how people can support us, and we’re really grateful.

Right now, we don’t need help with horse care, but we do need a small number of people to step in and help behind the scenes.

We are looking for help in many areas, but some of them are:

We’re especially looking for help with:

Fundraising (North Yorkshire, 2–3 days/month)
Helping us bring in income, whether that’s selling donated items, organising events, finding sponsorship, or supporting others who want to fundraise.

Sales & Marketing (Remote, 2–3 days/month)
Someone experienced who can help us reach more people, run campaigns, and raise our profile.

PR, Website & Social Media (Remote, ~1 hour/week)
Helping us keep our website and social media clear, up to date, and engaging.

If you have some experience in any of these areas and a bit of time to spare, we would really love to hear from you.

And if you can’t help in that way, you can still support us by donating here:
🔗 https://gofund.me/93d29f061

We’re doing everything we can to keep going, and any help right now makes a real difference.
