Help Pablo Get Back on His Hooves: Support His Life-Saving Surgery

Welcome to our urgent crowdfunding campaign for Pablo, one of the beloved therapy ponies at South Downs Equine Therapy. We need your help to raise funds for Pablo's critical surgery. With your support, we can give Pablo the care he needs to continue his incredible work, helping people heal and thrive through equine therapy.

Meet Pablo

Pablo is a 15-year-old new forest x appaloosa pony with a heart as big as his spirit. Known for his comedy acts and quirky personality, Pablo has been a cornerstone of South Downs Equine Therapy, helping children, teens, and adults overcome physical, emotional, and mental challenges. Although not often used for riding therapy, Pablo has helped many of our clients understand their own emotions as he himself struggles with his anxieties and worries. He is an irreplaceable member of our team.

Pablo’s Health Challenge

Recently, Pablo was diagnosed with a severe and painful injury requiring urgent surgical intervention. Without this surgery, Pablo would no longer be able to participate in his day to day life without pain. The procedure has been both complex and costly, but it is essential to ensure Pablo's health and happiness. Without Pablo, our lovely Dolly would struggle, as we all know they come as a pair.

Why We Need Your Help

Pablo's surgery has cost £4000 and total cost of Pablo's surgery, post-operative care, and rehabilitation is estimated to be over £6,000. As a non-profit organization, South Downs Equine Therapy relies on donations and community support to help fund our services. We do not have the necessary funds readily available to cover the full costs, which is why we are reaching out to compassionate individuals like you.

How Your Donation Will Make a Difference

Every contribution, no matter the size, brings us closer to our goal and directly impacts Pablo's recovery. Your donation will help cover:

  • Surgical Costs: The primary expense, including the surgeon’s fees, anesthesia, and hospital stay.
  • Post-Operative Care: Medication, bandaging, and specialized treatments to ensure a smooth recovery.
  • Rehabilitation: Physical therapy and support to help Pablo regain his strength and hopefully return to his therapy work.

Pablo’s Journey to Recovery

With successful surgery and proper care, we can do everything in our power to ensure Pablo has the best chances of recovery. Our veterinary partners are supporting us to give Pablo the best care.
