Sussex Horse Rescue Trust

SHRT was established in the 1960s and is the largest equine Sanctuary in the South. It currently runs a rescue programme for equines that have suffered neglect mistreatment or are simply unwanted. We are currently looking after 211 horses ponies and donkeys.

We believe every horse pony and donkey has the right to be part of a loving family where it will be cared for and loved to the end of its natural life. Although no animal once rescued is ever sold where possible we rehabilitate the animals and when fully recovered we "loan" them out to homes which can provide such an environment. All loan homes are rigorously checked and the loaned animal is visited from time to time to check on its well-being. If the loan home is no longer able to look after the animal for whatever reason it has to be returned to SHRT.

How to Buy a Pony

They're cute and adorable and can make the perfect gift for a child. But beware; ponies require just as much care and hard work as full-grown horses.

1. Go to horse auctions visit local horse barns read a book on how to buy a pony or visit on a few horse-related Web sites. Become familiar with ponies before you pull out your wallet.

2. Get some expert advice before making a purchase. It is difficult to select a sound pony with a good temperament unless you have a great deal of experience with ponies.

3. Pay special attention to the personality of the pony you're considering buying especially if a child will be riding her. If a pony is nippy flattens her ears when touched or bucks up her hind end when you walk behind her it's best to bypass that animal.

4. Examine the pony for cracked or deformed hooves a runny nose or eyes or a lethargic demeanour.

5. Ask a horse veterinarian to examine the pony you've chosen. This is the best way to ensure you are buying a healthy pony.
