We have a special Hope Pastures Pony Day planned for Thursday 23rd December 🐴🎄10am to 3pm

This is a full day of pony fun, run by our fab pony day team. If you would like to book your child on the pony day please email office@hopepastures.org to express your interest.
Places are limited to 12. Please email and we will send booking forms and payment details.

It’s OFFICIALLY the season to be jolly! But if Christmas fills you with dread at what to get or where to get it, come and check out our website www.hopepastures.org

🎄 We have beautiful CHRISTMAS CARDS featuring our lovely ponies and donks

🎄 You can do some “life admin” and organise your world with one of our fabulous calendars

🎄 Adopt a pony or donkey as a unusual present that helps our rescue work

🎄 Purchase a knitted pony mascot as a lovely stocking filler - each one unique and special and all with a message reminding the recipient that their mascot helps other ponies and donkeys

🎄 Give the gift of donkey club membership to a donkey lover

We have the solution for every Christmas problem!

Wow what a cold,wet, snowy and windy few days we have had 🥶

The storm didn’t let us off lightly and we have had some damage but the main thing is that all our residents are fine ❤️

Thank you to our amazing staff and volunteers for making sure all of our horses, ponies and donkeys are warm, fed, sheltered and cosy in these challenging conditions 💕

And we are grateful that our visitors centre and all other areas have been kept running smoothly despite the cold!

It’s not easy working through this but seeing all of our residents with full tummies and plenty of shelter makes it all worth it ❄️

Each animal copes with the weather differently depending on their age, breed/type, health, and personality so we make sure everyone is catered for with rugs,deeper bedding and extra forage.
Some appreciate being inside and others benefit from being out and moving around 🐎

We are sorry to say we will be closing early this afternoon to make sure our staff and volunteers can get home safely! We hope you stay safe and warm and come and see us soon
