Here at HorseWorld, we have been hearing about people who are thinking of getting their child a pony for Christmas. At the moment, horses can be bought very cheaply and are even being given away and abandoned but many people do not realise the commitment involved in horse ownership and will be looking to 'off-load' their new friend on a rescue charity in a few months time. Please take a moment to read the link below and share with your friends.

Ugh, scary thought that horses and ponies have become so cheap. When I was a kid and pestered my parents rotten to buy me one they always said they wouldn't because it wasn't the buying a horse that was a problem but the expense of keeping it. I think you may be very busy this winter HorseWorld :(

I know its so bad, i guess the high price of horses saves us sometimes because so many people just dont understand that they are not just something cuddly to look at and give as a git that i can be taken back and refunded, the high price makes sure that when we can finally afford one we are old enough to understand.! when my horse cant be riden i would never get rid of her she is part of our family and our sheltand is unridable but doesnt mean we just get rid of him. So sad to think that horses are just being handed around as gifts to children they will be forgoten after a week like so many other gifts :( Good Luck Horseworld and i home some people who really care will come and save all these ponies xx

Thanks for the good wishes. It's usually the period between New Year and Easter that we get the most abandoned or neglected horses coming in. We are all prepared and our isolation unit is stocked up ready.

For some reason the link above has stopped working. I suspect it is due to some problems we were having with our website yesterday. Please use this link instead.
