This is a picture of our newest rehab. project, Billy Boy. He's an Exmoor stallion, and is very scared of people. A lovely looking chap though. He is already responding to advance and retreat methods.
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.
