Leigh Rescue Centre A fun, family run, family funded equine rescue centre, in the heart of the community, that aims to give people, ponies & places a second chance.

Not done for any profit, wages or donations - everyone giving their money & time freely for the love of it. A charity that aims to give people, ponies and places a second chance. As people turn rescues around they themselves are often turned around. People often see themselves in the rescue. The pony might have been abused, neglected, and/or abandoned. Some have challenging behaviour, struggle to trust, or are frightened. Weight might be a problem. They can be lonely, depressed or orphaned. Many are sick eve have cancer or a genetic disorder. Yet each is so special, often very forgiving and forward looking. How can we not be moved? How can we not be challenged to look at ourselves? If there is hope, help and healing for them there might be for us too. Where things can't be changed an acceptance - making each day count. As the old principle has it, if we reach out and give we, are often reached and given what we really need ourselves. Even if it is not much we can always cheerfully make a positive difference to a person, a pony and or a place. Hopefully our children and others will follow suit too.

UPDATE! Saying 'Goodbye!' is never easy, but when they find good homes that love them, look well after them and appreciate them it makes it that bit easier.
Pluto - our 14 month old yearling gelding - is 'lucky' as his Aunty Susie was able to go with him as his companion. They are used to each other and get on well so it helped them settle into their new hope so much quicker with minimum stress. New owners sent photos of them strip grazing away with seemingly not a care in the world.
We wish them all the best and look forward to many more updates. All the best to them, their new owners and to everyone who loves horses!
I know you will share our joy in seeing rescues saved, rehabilitated & find a good long term homes that will hopefully be able to really enjoy them and further their training. x :) :)

:) Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year to you and yours! :)

Thanks for the lovely updates. Great to hear how well 'our' rescues are doing & to see how much you & your kids love them. :)

Heart warming how many of you mentioned how mega-tame, good natured & easy even the youngsters are. :)

So nice to see last years projects hacking out with little children, old timers showing/ jumping/competing etc. & companion pets just brightening people's lives. :)

Last year 'our' furthest away ponies were in Scotland & Holland but, just to make us all jealous, handsome Ash & his companion will be immigrating with their amazing family to Italy! A small holding is already waiting for them. Safe journey! :)

Please, keep the pictures and updates coming in. It makes it all worth the while! God bless all you kind people whether you re-homed a pony from us or not! Keep warm! Keep cheerful! :) ###
