Rehome a Pony
Rehoming one of our miniature Shetland ponies is a rewarding experience that changes lives—both yours and theirs. At Munchkins, we carefully match each pony to the right home, ensuring their needs and personality align with yours. Whether you're looking for a companion or a new member of your family, our rehoming process is designed to provide lifelong security for our ponies while giving you the joy of welcoming them into your life.
Give a Loving Pony a Home
We often have ponies available for rehoming, and if you're interested, we encourage you to complete a rehoming application form.
While we typically rehome ponies within a 50-60 mile radius of our centre in Colyton, East Devon, we’re happy to consider homes further afield if we have home checkers available in those areas.
Once you’ve visited Munchkins and we’ve agreed on a suitable pony, we’ll carry out a home check, provide a copy of our rehoming contract, and explain the process in detail. It may take a few weeks before your pony is ready to move to their new home. During this time, you’re welcome to visit as often as you like. Before leaving, all ponies are checked by our vet to ensure they are fit to travel.
We ask for a rehoming donation, which varies depending on the pony, as well as a small monthly contribution to our charity's Members Club. This membership gives you access to our support network, including advice from our behaviourist, should you need it.
Once you have completed the form and we have replied to you we will then arrange a visit to meet you and we will also require a vet and farrier reference. A personal reference will suffice if you do not have a vet or farrier at present.
