Play for ponies

Play our lottery today and help give ponies a brighter future.

It’s a fun new way to support our charity and each play costs just £1.

You could be in with a chance of winning up to £25,000 and that’s not even the best part – you’ll be helping to provide lifelong, loving care and support to over 600 rescued horses and ponies.

The Mare and Foal Sanctuary rescues horses and ponies that have been abandoned, neglected or abused. We ensure they have a safe sanctuary for life.

Our charity was founded on the principles that horses and ponies, as sentient beings and close companions of humans over the centuries, have a value and a purpose. They deserve our kindness and care.

Your £1 lottery ticket could help us:

  • Rescue foals, horses and ponies in urgent need
  • Provide feed, bedding and hay
  • Administer veterinary treatment and farrier care

Together we can help every horse and pony live their best life.

Supporter, Adele, won the £25,000 jackpot in May 2023! She really couldn’t believe it and said that the money had come just at the right time and would change her life. Adele told us that she plays for ponies because she is an animal lover and, following her win, she very kindly made an extra donation to the horses in our care.

The best prize is helping ponies in need, like little Nev

Last year we welcomed adorable colt foal, Little Nev, into the world and into life at the sanctuary. His mare, Nia, was in foal when she arrived at the sanctuary and, had she not been rescued, Little Nev’s start to life could have been very different.

When Little Nev was born, he struggled to latch on and feed from Nia. There were times when our grooms were concerned that he may not survive. Thankfully, due to the team monitoring them 24 hours a day and helping him to feed where necessary, he grew up healthy and happy.

Little Nev is now thriving and living his best life at the sanctuary. He is well into his basic training and the team are so proud of how far he has come.

By playing our weekly lottery, you can help us provide essential care for ponies like Little Nev.

Supporter, Brenda, won £1,000 and said:

I must just thank you all so very, very much. It’s so fantastic to win the prize of £1,000. Having had several health issues recently, it was wonderful to receive this. We are going to spend it next summer on a trip to Singapore, which was where we met back in 1967. We will have been married for 53 years next year. Thank you all again for giving me something to look forward to.
