The sanctuary offers a safe haven for the ageing, infirm, mistreated and neglected horse and ponies in the Wirral and Cheshire area. The area has a huge equine population and unfortunately there are still a lot of horses and ponies who, through illness and neglect or ignorance of humans, need a safe knowledgeable, loving environment in which to live out the rest of their lives. Large or small, old or young, the beautiful or not so beautiful.
Pony & Horse Sponsorships
A small donation will help to provide feed, health care, equipment and foot care for the pony. You will receive a photograph, biography of the pony, and a certificate of sponsorship. If you are local to us, you will also be able to visit the pony if you wish. We have an sponsorship file full of photographs and biography’s of each horse.
