The Story of One Pound Pony...

                                                                            Bob, safe and well at the Sanctuary...

                                                                            Unable to get up, this Shetland pony we’ve called Bob,
                                                                            was found tangled up in the wire which had formed
                                                                            part of his tethering chain.

                                                                            From the churned-up condition of the ground where
                                                                            he was lying, we could tell he had been marooned there
                                                                            for some time. Because he had been illegally tethered,
                                                                            he was freed and then collected by a horse warden and
                                                                            taken to a stray horse pound. He then came, with other
                                                                            stray and abandoned ponies, on to Hillside.

                                                                            During 2017 we took in 276 horses and
                                                                                ponies from stray horse pounds
