The Horses and Ponies
Protection Association is one of the oldest and most respected Charities for
equine welfare. HAPPA was founded in 1937 to help fight against the
transportation of large horses to the continent for slaughter.
However
complaints of horses
ponies and donkeys being ill treated
starved and
abused were reported to the Association
and since then we have investigated
many thousands of complaints.
1997 saw this Association
(HAPPA) celebrating its Sixtieth Anniversary. 1997 also saw the saving of 16
racehorses! One would think this could never happen. But it did! It took HAPPA
staff from the Shores Hey Rescue Centre hours to save them from the squalid
conditions they were living in.
These once proud
now
emaciated horsess were standing 3ft deep in their own manure
they were crawling
with lice and covered with open sores. HAPPA staff also found the dead body of
another horse rotting among them under a pile of pallets!

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.
