A Little History Personal Ponies Ltd is a non profit, 501c3 organization that provides small UK Shetland ponies to children that are differently able. Our program is 100% volunteer based, not a single person is paid a penny, and there is never any charge for our services
Our ponies have helped many children learn about empathy, outward focus, nurturing, acceptance, socialization, mental stimulation, physical contact, trust and many other physiological benefits as well. There are currently over 1,000 ponies throughout the USA. Our Mission A special magic is created when kids and ponies come together. Smiles abound! Personal Ponies’ mission is to bring together UK Shetland Ponies and children with special needs (including those differently-abled or with illness). New York State, the original home of Personal Ponies, is working to fulfill that mission. Our goal is to spread the word that these wonderful ponies (UK Shetlands) are available, free of charge, to place with families.
We're having an Open House and you're invited!
