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)

24 days agoSeasons Greetings everyone! I'm cheeky little Peanut, one of the lucky rescue ponies at The Epona Trust and famous for my ability to escape from any paddock that is not to my taste. Sadly our winter grazing is not coping so well with the recent cold and wet weather and needs to be supplemented with hay. So on behalf of all my field mates I would like to say a big THANK YOU to everyone who has donated recently or who does so this month. This will go towards the cost of the extra hay needed to keep our tummies full over the Festive Season 🥰💝

4 months agoHello everyone. My name is Bobby. I'm one of the younger ponies living my best life with the lovely people at The Epona Trust. I was rather a badly behaved boy when I arrived, but my stable manners have improved quite a bit since then. My favourite time is out in the field with my best bud Harry playing games and generally letting off steam! I've popped by today, to say a big THANK YOU to everyone who has donated over the Summer and helped us to exceed 50% of our target! This has helped to keep us all fed, fit and healthy. Love, Bobby 🧡 🐎 xx

7 months agoHello there ! I'm Queenie a majestic Belgian Draft and the most recent rescue horse. I arrived last year with nasty lesions and scarring on my legs due to chronic progressive lymphoedema. The kind Epona Trust people have successfully treated and are now managing this. I didn't like having my sore legs treated very much to start with, but am now a good girl as I know it is helping me and my legs feel much better. So if you are able to donate any amount to help towards the costs of my lotions and potions, I would like like very much. Thank you 💖
