Lucky Orphans Horse Rescue would like to introduce you to Ashley!

Ashley is a Miniature horse mare, born in 1996. She came to live at Lucky Orphans in 2013, with her entire family! (Her daughter: Denise, and 3 other minis)

Ashley and her family came from Pawling, when their owners' children didn't want them anymore, and weren't spending the necessary time with them.

When the mini herd arrived, the signs of not being handled were very apparent. They kicked, reared and refused to be caught. Ashley, has always been the most nervous, fleeing as quickly as she can, and rearing up in disagreement to any handling.

Today, Ashley's personality has changed greatly! She is one of our beloved therapy ponies and helps children suffering from grief from a loss of a parent, sexual trauma and other human emotional struggles.

Ashley suffered trauma to her eye, and we had to remove it. Now, she proudly attends the ThinkDIFFERENTLY Picnic every year and is teaching people about inclusion. Having only one eye hasn't stopped this little ball of fire from helping people.

Ashley requires $27 a day in care. We invite to donate towards her annual need of $10,000. Any gift is so important. We also greatly appreciate you hitting the recurring donation button and making your donation become a monthly gift for Ashley.
