We currently have 44 horses at the Throwaway Ponies farm. 8 of these horses are in rehab for hoof problems and are on a special weight-gain diet. Most of the 44 are available for adoption. Some are ridable and others are available as companion animals only. Check for fundraiser information at www.throwawayponies.org

The Problem
We are working to decrease the number of abused and neglected horses. We are also working with mentally and physically abused, and at risk women and children through equine (horse) therapy.
Plan of Action
Our plan of action is to take in old, lame, abused or neglected horses, that are donated to the Throwaway Ponies program, and rehabilitate, train and adopt them out to loving "forever homes". We are also using the rescued horses in our equine assisted therapy program for women and children who have been physically, emotionally or sexually abused in order to build self confidence, self- esteem and physical strength. This is done through providing riding lessons and/or working with horses on the ground. Our mission is to provide a safe environment for people to grow emotionally and physically using equine assisted growth, learning and therapy. Horses are therapists, who along with humans help people discover they can be whole again. Transforming lives through the therapeutic bond of horse and rider.
