Adopt a Pony

Hello, I'm Harry the pony and you can adopt me!

I’m Harry, one of the rescued ponies here at Goodheart Farm Animal Sanctuary.

Before I came here I lived with a group of travellers, but I kept escaping. Finally, my owners didn’t want me back anymore, so I found myself looking for a new home. Goodheart Farm Animal Sanctuary wasn’t quite open at the time, but they just couldn’t say no to me (who could!). 

Now I live here with my best friend Poppy and I couldn’t be happier. We enjoy lazy days grazing in our big field, and cosy nights in our field shelter.

Fascinating facts about horses and ponies

Horses can sleep both standing up and lying down. Horses sleep better when kept in a group as some individuals keep watch whilst others sleep. For this reason, some horses struggle to sleep when kept in isolation

Horses have the largest eyes of any land mammal. In fact, their eyes are so large that they are unable to move them and instead have to move their heads to see different things.

Horses are very intelligent with a natural aptitude for learning. They can even understand the concept of numbers and are able to tell if an amount is higher or lower, if the total involved is less than four.​

How much does it cost to own a pony?

Keeping a pony or horse as a pet can be very expensive and is not something that should be taken lightly. There is a lot involved in taking care of horses and ponies, including proper feed, vet bills, farrier visits, and regular grooming equipment. You also need to have enough time to provide your horse or pony with all the care and attention they need. 

By adopting Harry the pony through us, you can feel good knowing you’ve helped our rescued animals, without the added responsibility that comes with owning a pony or horse as a pet.
