Be apart of a something unique!  Personal Ponies, LTD, is a non-profit child therapy organization.  Find out how you can help this noble organization, and ultimately; a special child.  

Here in Arkansas, we’ve taken that mission one step farther.  With the assistance of our area Pet Partners group, we have attained Delta registration for several of our promotional ponies.  We take one show correct Shetland and one pony with disabilities into the local schools and teach a program called, “It’s Okay to be Different.”   These ponies demonstrate a caring and accepting friendship that emphasizes similarities instead of differences.  By sharing an age appropriate book and opening a comfortable dialogue with students, we hope to replace hate and prejudice with tolerance and understanding.  This also enable students to see animals as companions and to grasp the emotional benefits of animal-human relationships.

Personal Ponies is active in the community and appreciates any opportunity to visit with clubs, schools, and civic organizations. 

We are  taking applications for our foster program.  It’s a great chance to work one on one with a pony to prepare for placement with a special child.  Special consideration given to 4Hers!!

At PERSONAL PONIES, we believe in magic—the magic that happens between a tiny pony and a disabled child. Creating magic in children's lives IS our mission. It's our only mission.

Our non-profit organization (501-C-3) was founded in 1986 by Marianne Alexander, specifically created to benefit disabled children by offering a UK type Shetland pony to love and care for, completely without charge. We are the only organization of this kind in the world. If “the outside of a horse is good for the inside of a man, ” what could be better for the inside of a special child?  It is the privilege of Personal Ponies, LTD., to provide unconditional love in the form of ponies.  We have placed hundreds of ponies with the families of disabled children, and scores of volunteers in almost every state serve in our volunteer program as breeders, sponsors and promoters. We now have 55 breeding farms, 45 stallions standing at stud, about 200 breeding mares, and more than 800 registered ponies. Yet with all this growth, we have hundreds of children waiting for ponies, and the list grows daily.
