We have only recently discovered the true nature of Sunny’s background which has made us very sad. Sunny was born with insufficient bones in his legs, and this is why he is so small and could never be ridden. And we knew this. What we didn’t know is that Sunny was sadly kept in a shed in not great conditions. He was lonely, depressed and distressed by the situation he had found himself in.

We rescued him in 2013 after being approached by a lady that didn’t want him.

This was an answered prayer as we hadn’t long rescued Muffin, who was a small slender white little pony who, at the age of 11, had never lived with any horses or ponies and wasn’t well so we knew he needed a small pony friend of his own.

So, Sunny came along and Muffin and him became bestest buddies instantly. They were inseparable and loved their life together, enjoying all sorts of adventures (we could write a book).

Sadly, after being best friends with Muffin for 10 years, Muffin sadly crossed over rainbow bridge in August 2023 after a long-term illness that we were managing. Sunny was overwhelmed with grief, and it took him a good year to process losing his friend. He was surrounded with love and support from us and his equine family during this process.

Sunny is now happy again and loves meeting visitors, having his photo taken and loves nothing more than a yummy carrot or treat from his supporters. He is a mighty pony who is not aware of his size and lives a fulfilled life. We do have to keep him out of mud during winter as his legs are so tiny.

Sunny has a cheeky personality and can be stubborn at times, but he is very gorgeous and comical too.

We think he is a superhero and a legend, and we love him!
