Dartmoor Hill Ponies in need of urgent home

Below is an appeal by someone who is looking for homes for some Dartmoor Hill Ponies, unfortunately we are full at the centre and unable to take on any more, if we did we would risk the welfare of the ponies we have by taking on too many which we just can't do. If you think you can help please get in touch with Mary on 01752 346858 OR 07789676116.

PLEASE CAN ANYONE HELP?!? 9 DARTMOOR HILL PONY COLT FOALS

They all need good genuine homes. They need you now. They have very uncertain futures. They are all around 8 months old and will make between 11-13hh There are:* 2 Red/Whites* Dark brown with a white blaze down the face* Light dun (Caramel/cream)* Dark brown with star on forehead* Browns and Bays

They are currently living on the moor; some are friendlier than others and some allow me to touch them. They were late foals last year and were too young to go to the sales and most werer colts.

WE DESPERATELY NEED HOMES FOR THESE GENTLE TEMPERAMENT PONIES.
Someone needs to care for these ponies. Please don't just feel sorry for them. Help them by giving them genuine homes. Could you or do you know someone that would?

PLEASE PHONE Mary ON TEL: 01752 346858 OR 07789676116.

Having spoken to Mary, she is a woman at her wits end trying to save these ponies. She and her friends have transport and are willing to help transport them if homes can be found. She added this info: They are Dartmoor Hill Ponies all late foals from last year and all colts. They will make 11'2-12hh and some 12-13hh approx. They are still on their mums and running free on the egdes of Dartmoor, on the moor in and around Lee Moor village between Cornwood and Shaugh Prior nr Plympton Plymouth. Their colours are Bays and dark browns, light dun (cream with black tails and points) a chocolate brown with white blaze and dark browns with stars and there is also 2 red/white one small than the other but beautifully marked.
Help has been offered for cheaper passporting/microchips and gelding for any serious home offered. A genuine home is needed for all these colts.

I feed them twice daily, I don't have to and I do not own them, I have spoken to the farmer and he doesn't know what to do with them and no-one has no money resession etc., he doesn't want to shoot them and prefer them to get homes instead.

I have and will try to get as many homes as possible with the help of people like yourselves. Any help would be appreciated and thankyou
