Between autumn 2011 and early 2012 we helped to rehome a herd of ponies from Dartmoor. All the ponies were rehomed, but quite a lot of the foals needed to have some basic handling before they went to their homes at registered charities based all over the country. You might remember this YouTube video we made about 4 foals who went to The Horse's Voice charity in Leicestershire:
At the weekend we also had an email from Roy at The Pit Pony Sanctuary to say they were on their way to see a potential foster home for the pony known as "Fearless" - she was such a confident foal right from when we first met her! I expect she's quite a big girl now too!

The people4ponies organisation was founded in 2003 in order to support and rehabilitate a large group of wild and traumatised ponies. It is run by volunteers and funded by their generosity, money-raising events, merchandise sales, pony sponsorship and donations.
Our main base is located near Witheridge, in Devon, where at any one time there are a number of ponies being rehabilitated. Ponies which are very traumatised stay with us for life, as they would not cope with "normal" homes. Others are educated to the point where they can be re-homed. The methods used are non-confrontational and innovative and the pony/human relationship is constantly being explored and re-evaluated for mutual benefit.
