// Our mission
A Sanctuary where horses heal, thrive, and inspire people
Located in Heswall, Wirral, and founded by the Bamford family in memory of their first rescue, Badger, Parkgate Pony Sanctuary has provided lifelong care to over 25 rescued ponies. Entirely volunteer-run and community-supported, we’re dedicated to offering safety, dignity, and love to equines in need.

Education & Outreach
