Have you rehomed a horse or pony from World Horse Welfare and would like to highlight the impact they have had on your life? The charity will be holding its first Rescued Horse Appreciation Month in June to celebrate the stories of its horses, ponies, donkeys and mules as they enjoy a second chance in life, and submissions are now open.

World Horse Welfare’s UK Support Officer, Fran Windle, said the charity loves hearing updates from its rehomers and has enjoyed reading the stories that have come in so far.

“If you’d like to tell us why your rehomed horse, pony, donkey or mule is wonderful – whether they’re providing invaluable companionship, are a much-loved children’s pony or you have high hopes for them becoming a ridden or driven horse – please do share your story,” she said. “We’d love to hear the difference your World Horse Welfare rescue makes in your life.”

To take part in Rescued Horse Appreciation Month, fill in the World Horse Welfare questionnaire, email stories@worldhorsewelfare.org or send the charity a letter to the following address to tell them about your World Horse Welfare horse, pony, donkey or mule: Rescued Horse Appreciation Month, World Horse Welfare, Anne Colvin House, Snetterton, Norwich, NR16 2LR.

Those interested in rehoming with the charity can view the horses and ponies currently available here.

Among the horses and ponies looking for new homes with World Horse Welfare at the moment is three-year-old cob Nova (pictured above), based at Hall Farm in Norfolk.

Nova loves other horses and attention, and has the potential to be backed in the future, with the right person.

The piebald pony is looking for an experienced rehomer to continue her education.
