Help Sophie fulfill her dream of owning her own pony

My daughter Sophie is 9 years old. A little over 2 years ago she was diagnosed with anxiety, social anxiety and a painful stomach condition directly related to this. It was diagnosed as Functional Abdominal Pain Syndrome. (By a specialist pediatrician)

For as long as I can remember she has had a huge passion for horses.

We started her in private lessons approximately 8 months ago. She has gained confidence slowly but surely, she spent 4 months learning all of the groundwork and was finally confident enough to get on a pony. She is ready for her own pony.

After a long search we have found the perfect pony who matches her personality. He is a gelding and stands at 14.1hh. He will come with a saddle, bridle, covers and saddle pads. A friend from overseas suggested I give crowd funding a go.

We have saved enough for his gear and to set up a paddock and have a small shed/stable built.
