This gorgeous little man came to us in 2023 as a companion for little pony Sunny after he sadly lost his best friend he had known for over 10 years, Muffin.

Thumper had been passed around throughout his life, having almost as many homes as years old! He was mainly used a companion pony for other horses so hadn’t really experienced real long-term stability or love.

We wanted to not only offer him a forever home but a chance to have forever friends and to be showered in love and kindness.

Thumper was quite unsure when he first arrived and took him some time to find his place within the herd due to him wanting to be in charge. But Sophie has always been the Mommy pony, so no one listened to his demands. He soon settled and understood that you don’t always have to be in charge to be loved.

He is now very confident within Sophie’s herd and loves his other pony friends and often tries to pinch their breakfasts.

He is a sweet boy, who is still learning that cuddles are enjoyable and us humans just want to show him love and affection.

He has surprised us by stepping forward instantly to offer his services as a therapy pony to children.

He is a natural healer. We love this lovely chap.
