| Veteran Horse Welfare funds and runs two Rehabilitation Centres which are currently home to over 30 veteran horses and ponies. Whilst some of these horses will be able to be rehomed once they have completed their rehabilitation, others may never be strong enough or are simply unable to cope with the change to new homes. These ponies will remain at the Centres for the rest of their lives. Here, just like any other ponies, they simply adore to be visited, loved and made a fuss of! The VHW Pony Adoption Scheme allows you to do just that and you’ll soon see that they absolutely love the attention! Your adoption fee will go directly towards the cost of looking after your nominated ponies which, due to popular demand, are now available to adopt in pairs. |
| LILLY & PIPPA LILLY - 13.2HH 29 year old liver chestnut mare. Lilly had no contact with humans for 8 years before coming to the centre. Lilly is totally blind and manages very well looking after little Pippa. |
| PIPPA - sadly this little Shetland lost her mum in March 2006 (her mum came to the centre with ragwort poisoning). Pippa thankfully, immediately turned to Lilly for protection and they have been together ever since. |
