Where do our Ponies come from?
Where do our Ponies come from?
Some of our ponies (but not all) are rescue ponies bought by us or brought to us due to neglect, abuse, founder issues, hoof problems or a bad habit that has developed during the ponies lifetime.
We put 110% of our hearts into bringing these ponies back to health and happiness.
While some people worry that maybe the ponies don't enjoy their new work and life here at Itty-Bitty, rest assured that not every pony we rescue will come to a party. Several will live out there lives in a sanctuary type situation with us where they are only asked to mow the occasional weedy lawn around the ranch.
Some who are rehabilitated will go on to find a family that is perfect for their particular situation.
We have dedicated our lives to these special souls and each pony is treated as the individual that they are.
While other ponies have a story of their own, we have given 3 examples below.

Glitter.....
Glitter.....
Rescued from a deplorable hoarding situation Glitter was sickly, extremely thin, weak and required several surgeries. She has since bloomed into a beautiful young pony that is in training to be a therapy horse so that she can bring love to those who most need it in our area. Glitter was found as a yearly and is now a fiesty 5 yr old princess. Due to her neglect at such a young age she will require a little extra care the rest of her life but is living her precious life to the fullest!
Dandelion.....
Dandelion.....
Found living in a very small side yard of a Mesa trailer park filled with tools and garbage, Danelion was quite skinny, had a mangy coat with terribly overgrown and lame feet. He had eye infections that were so bad they left him sight impaired but it doesn't slow his love down at all and he has recovered to be a fat, healthy and sweet boy. While he was purchased out of his situation, it was a small price to save a life and we were happy to do it for him. :) You will often find Dandy making smiles at many events in the area.
Stardust...
Stardust...
Though she doesn't do parties at this time, we felt she still needed to be dressed as the beautiful Unicorn she is. :) Stardust came to us pregnant and is so in this picture. She came from a inexperienced home who tried moving her to Missouri in a rented U-Haul cargo trailer. Needless to say, we simply couldn't allow such a thing happen to her and her older daughter, Doodle so we purchased hem both and had them pregnancy checked upon arriving. Both turned out to be pregnant. So we saved four lives that day instead of the two we knew about. Yippee-Yahoo! :)
