Welcome to our website.
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.
The centre of operations is at Horseford Farm in North Devon, where at any one time there are a number of ponies being rehabilitated. They 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.

If you would like to come and visit us to see the ponies, or maybe to sponsor a pony, make a donation, or stay in our farmhouse Bed & Breakfast accommodation, please contact us for more information.
Please have a look round our website but bear in mind that great care needs to be taken when handling horses and ponies.
Although you may get an idea of our methods from these pages it is necessary to complete many hours of hands-on experience, to study equine body language and to work under the close supervision of an expert in order to safely and effectively work with wild or traumatised animals.
