HHO Ace enjoying his 1st Birthday, dropping by to say hello to us all the way from his new home. He is being truly pampered at his new home!
What a wonderful ending for HHO Finton. 3 years old today, a big party and the best present ever, a family who adore him. We can’t help but smile!
A Happy Ending for Sky and Drover
Sky and Drover seemed to be with us forever, on and off since they were both babies. The two of them had been placed in homes in Ireland but for some reason or another had to come back to us.
Months passed and no one even batted an eyelid at our boys. Two, very sweet and kind little men. We had resigned ourselves that the boys would stay with us forever but our hearts ached to give them a family of their own.
Out of the blue we were contacted by a lovely lady who had seen our boys and instantly she fell in love and thus began their beautiful new life. When they left us we were overwhelmed by emotions, seeing our little boys driving away to cross Europe to meet their new family. Nerves set in and we waited here for news of their arrival.
Our worries vanished the minute they arrived, their family eagerly waiting for them and instantly their new life began, loved, spoiled cherished. It is everything we ever dreamed of and more. After spending much of their lives at HHO their day finally came. We’re so proud of our little men and we’re blessed that so many of our adopters continue to share their story with us.
Here they are in their home, another wonderful success story. We’ll be watching little men!
Please take a moment and read.
Almost 2 years ago HHO founded a German rehoming program with the help of people that had the same views as us! To save the lives of the Forgotten Irish Horse!
This program has gone from strength to strength and now we see our beautiful abandoned horses living in wonderful homes all over Europe.
But yesterday…. yesterday we achieved something really wonderful…
Our first 2 donkeys were rehomed through the program.
Moose and Minka are currently making their way to their new home in Sweden.
We are so proud and Moose being Moose, she knew there was big wonderful changes ahead for her and her daughter.
Best of luck to our 2 wonderful girls, you have an amazing life ahead of you, we’ll miss your little soft noses 
When we met Hope in the depths of last Winter, we despaired, we cried, we prayed, we wrapped her in cotton wool, it seemed her journey was endless. Our little darling had no hope, on those desperately cold winter mornings and evenings when we were lifting a feeble and skeletal body to help her stand we wondered if we were even doing the right thing.
Would she ever turn a corner, were we prolonging the inevitable, but Hope told us to persist. Each day we lifted her, she’d waddle along the driveway wrapped in her little rug for a pick of grass, often times we’d stay with her, look at our little girl and beg her to keep fighting. At only three months old she was all alone in this world. No mother, no one to teach her how to be a pony, no one to teach her how to eat, nothing.
A little girl all alone in this world with nothing, her body covered in rain rash, every bone protruding, weak and almost dead like, But two little blue eyes asked us to extend the hand of help even further, to keep lifting her, to keep willing her to live and to keep telling her about the beautiful future she would have. So we did, and it paid off.. Standing before us today, We looked at her with pride.
Full of life and fun just like a baby should be. We are so proud of her and how far she has come and we look forward to the day we can tell her she’s going home, the magical home we told her about in her darkest hours.
Tiny Tim is finally well enough to go home and what a long and desperate battle we had. The changes in him are incredible, He’s a different boy to the one we rescued that cold February day. We know he is going to have a life time of happiness in his new home. He has found a little girl who will love him forever like he deserves! So proud of our little man.
Take a look at this stunning little man! From having to be lifted every time he lay down to being full of the joys of life. We are so proud of him and his recovery. Well done little Marley you are doing great!
Marley’s dreams have come true and he now lives in a wonderful new home with his forever family. See him below arriving to start his brand new life!
A little while ago we brought you Lucy’s story, how this beautiful little mare was struggling to keep herself alive as well as her unborn foal. We were frustrated, angry and upset by the state this girl was left in. We’ve been working round the clock for Lucy and her foal and here are a few snaps as showing her progress. Whilst we’re still a little worried about her pending foal we’re delighted to see how much weight she has put on and how she has responded to treatment. The future looks bright for Lucy! Well done Lucy!!!!!
A massive thank you to everyone who got behind Lucy and helped save this broken soul. To the German friends who sent colostrum for the baby, food for Lucy, vitamins and minerals for her. Thank you for believing in her , we’ll keep you all updated when we finally meet her foal!
They say “Every pony deserves at least once in their lives to be loved by a little girl”
Well like many of the HHO ponies Jamie is now living just that. but Jamie is a special needs pony, he only has one eye but the kindness and compassion of this little child leads to his disability being forgotten. She spends her days bringing Jamie for walks, grooming him and as far as we have heard the pair spend quite a lot of time cuddling.
Whilst Jamie lives in Germany, we hear regularly from his family with his latest news. We’re so thrilled he finally met his “one”
The story of best friends HHO Beth and HHO Blaney. Enough to bring a tear to anyone’s eye.
Beth and Blaney game to us and soon became inseparable. They were lucky enough to get a 5 Star home together! You can follow their continued friendship on their very own Facebook page.
So much excitement in the shop today when all the little doggies visited before their walk down the mall.
Thanks to all the volunteers and friends who give the dogs some attention while waiting for their forever home
