Ponies
SUGAR SPICE and CARAMEL APPLE are two sweet and friendly ponies who became part of the Animal Tracks family after needing a safe place to call home. Originally scheduled to go elsewhere, circumstances changed and they were in need of rehoming — and we were fortunate to provide them with a loving sanctuary environment.
Since arriving, they have settled in alongside Spirit, our rescued horse, and the rest of our donkey family, quickly becoming part of the herd. While Animal Tracks specializes in the care and rescue of exotic animals, we also open our hearts to domestic animals in need, providing them with a safe, nurturing space to thrive.
Visitors are always welcome to meet Sugar Spice and Caramel Apple, and to interact safely with our farm animals, including horses, donkeys, piggies, and bunnies. Their story is a reminder that every animal deserves a second chance at a loving home!
