Rescued
Quite simply, our ponies have an idyllic existence on the farm… and they deserve it after wherever they came from.
MANZANITA
Manzanita is our oldest rescue, she came with her sister and the pair were lovingly referred to as our Hospice Rescues. She is healthy and (ahem) spirited… and loves running away from those who may catch her.
Lynus
Lynus came next straight from a kill auction. He’s a beautiful little boy with a gorgeous gait, but a severely malformed jaw. After several years at the farm, I’m convinced that he’ll remain shy for his life… but he’s also the first to come check out any excitement.
Truffle
Truffle is our littlest girl, who came to us as an emergency adoption from a rescue with a possible high risk, advanced age pregnancy. Unfortunately the pregnancy was lost, but fortunately Truffle is still healthy and happy… and loves our hugs and scratches.

Ponies may need rescue due to various reasons, including neglect, lack of proper care, abuse, or being surrendered by owners who can no longer care for them.
-
Rescue ponies may face health issues due to neglect, such as dental problems, hoof issues, malnutrition, and behavioral problems stemming from past trauma. Many rescue ponies may need training to address behavioral issues or fear, and it's essential to work with an experienced trainer or equine therapist.

Consider your experience with horses, the time and resources you can dedicate, your living situation, and whether you can provide adequate care and companionship. Ongoing costs include food, shelter, veterinary care, hoof care, and other necessities, which can vary based on location and specific pony needs.

You can support rescue ponies by volunteering, donating to rescue organizations, fostering ponies, or helping spread awareness about equine rescue.
