Meet Pippa

Pippa is an adorable pony with a typical Welsh attitude. She can be the sweetest pony and has a lot of love to give but sometimes has been known to bite with intention so we do not want her to be handled by children unless under full supervision, as such she requires a knowledgeable home with experienced handlers. She has the looks to be a fantastic show pony or possibly driven with the right education. Pippa does enjoy her work and likes to have something to think about. She goes well on the lunge, over and around poles. She is going well under saddle in walk and trot and confidently hacking out which she thoroughly enjoys. Pippa stands at roughly 11.2hh

The adoption process

Application
If you see an animal on our website that you are interested in adopting, you should fill out an Animal Enquiry form. This gives us more details about yourself and your lifestyle to make sure you are a good match for each other. If we get multiple requests for one animal, we will consider them all and choose the most suitable home to match it to a new owner. This will allow everyone interested a fair chance of adopting it
First meeting
If your application is successful, we will invite you for a first meeting. Here, you and the animal will meet each other and see how you get along. Following on from this, there may be more meetings and you can introduce other pets as required.
Home checks
Home checks are required for every dog before we set the adoption date. This was done physically pre-Covid but we now ask for videos and photos. We need to be sure the home environment is suitable for that dog and the garden is secure. If dogs/rabbits are going to live with other dogs/rabbits, we will arrange an introduction as previously mentioned.
Keep in touch
Every adoption is as unique as each animal. Please remember although sometimes it might seem like a lengthy process, we are doing this to make sure each animal is found the right home for their lifetime.
