How many times have you asked your Mum for a horse? And how may times has she said no? Unfortunately, horses are a lot of money and not everyone has enough time to own one. So, the next best thing? Adopting a charity horse!
You can adopt a horse from loads of different charities. Usually, you will get regular updates on your horse’s training and a newsletter about the charity. You will be able to meet your adopted horse, and maybe even ride him or her if you’re lucky! Some charities have a website where you can read updates and watch videos, too. Below are some of the charities you can adopt a pony from, and how much it costs.
HorseWorld – £20 a year (~$30.00 USD)
Redwings - £12.50 a year (~$19.00 USD)
The Mare and Foal Sanctuary – £12.50 a month (~$19.00 USD)
Look on the internet for a charity near you. By adopting the pony you are helping to buy feed, bedding, tack and lots more for your adopted horse, and other horses that need the charity’s help.
This sounds like a great idea! I’ll have to check it out some time…:D
Wow! Great blog, Sweetie. Now I might just be one step closer to getting a horse!
Thanks for the suggestion.
