My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Robbie is a 23 year old Welsh pony. He is very sweet, but has lived most of his life not knowing if he can trust people. He adores our staff, and is still learning to fully trust us. Most days he is easy to halter and catch, he leads through our barn, arena, and obstacle course well. He stands quietly at our hitching post and is learning how good grooming can be!



We are also working with him hoof handling so that he can have a successful first farrier visit.



Robbie is very smart and learns things quickly! We have seen great strides in him learning how to relax and feel safe with us. We are working on helping him gain confidence, and he will need continued work in his new home to help learn that people are a source of love and affection!
