Story
The Epona Trust is a non-profit making organisation which specialises in the rehabilitation of horses and ponies from difficult and challenging backgrounds, which require dedicated individual care and attention. We are passionate about helping each horse reach the full potential that it possessed as a foal. The Epona Trust strives to re-establish the ancient bond between horses and people, by working in an ethical and holistic way, embracing new techniques whilst respecting traditional values.
The Epona Trust (based at Russells Equestrian Centre in West End, Southampton) is currently home to 12 rescue horses and ponies whose feed, bedding and hay bills alone average around £600 per week.
The Epona Trust is financed purely from our sponsorship scheme (which provides a regular income but doesn't cover all of our costs), donations and fund raising events. All donations, no matter how big or small, are always gratefully received and allow us to not only support our current herd, but also to rescue and rehabilitate more horses and ponies in need - like Willoughby pictured above (you can read his story here)
£8 will buy a bale of hay
£9 will buy a bag of grass nuts (feed)
£11 will buy a bale of bedding (shavings)
£15 will buy a bag of chaff (feed)
£30 will buy a bag of synergy balancer (feed)

22 days agoHello. My name is Indy another of the lucky horses rescued by the Epona Trust. I am very beautiful. I am also a tiny bit of of a Princess 👑. Due to my fine breeding I am a sensitive girl, which can cause me to suffer from something called colic (digestive system problems) that can be very serious in horses. To help keep my digestive system as healthy as possible. I need a daily supplement which costs around £40 a tub and lasts me for 40 days. Thank you so much for your kind donations, which have helped towards keeping my tummy happy 💖

2 months agoHello! I'm Blondie one of the lucky ponies rescued by the Epona Trust. I have been a bit poorly recently with heavy breathing and respiratory issues. The vet has diagnosed asthma and prescribed medication, including an inhaler, but I may also need a nebuliser. Sadly there is no NHS for ponies, so the initial vet visit and medications cost around £450 and I will need ongoing treatment, especially in dry and dusty weather. Thank you so much for the donations you so kindly made in July, which will help towards the cost of my treatment so far 🐴💕
