Your unwanted items are our treasures! Here's how the FUNDrive works:
  • Bring us your bagged/contained items by Monday 6/25.
  • We will deliver them to Savers Thrift Store and get so many cents per pound.
  • Those cents add up and help us buy hay for our Newfoundland Ponies.
  • Savers gets great items to sell.
  • Savers buyers get great items at bargain prices.
  • The Epilepsy Foundation in turn gets proceeds from those sales!
Win win!

Cant drop them off? Maybe we can pick them up. Message us. THANK YOU!

*Deadline for Drop off is this coming Monday, 6/25/18, at the sanctuary barn.              
488 Dublin Rd, Jaffrey.
  If no one is there, it's ok to leave things near the barn doors. Please be sure items are in good condition, contained as much as possible, and fit their list of acceptables posted above. Thank you!​

The Jaffrey-Rindge Rotary club  granted Villi Poni Farm monies to aid in the purchase of hay for our Newfoundland ponies.  Villi Poni Farm is a weekly participant in the Rotary's BEST camp which offers students entering grades 6, 7, or 8 with a unique, summer camp-type experience.  The program offers students support with Reading and Math activities  as well as a variety of recreational, art, and interest-based activities.
Students come to Villi Poni Farm for an interactive skill building and educational program working with the ponies.  
Thank you Jaffrey-Rindge Rotarians for your kindness,  and for inclusion in your fabulous program!


For more Information about the BEST program in general please go to the Rotary's WEBSITE.

The Tooth Fairy Cometh!

Tooth day at Villi Poni Farm was a great success.  5 ponies had their teeth power floated (sharp edges filed.) 3 ponies are newcomers here but all 5 ponies were in great need of veterinary dental attention. Age was a contributing factor for 4 of them. Misty is not pictured. She fears needles and is wise to every trick in the book. We were busy settling her, not taking pictures. Dr Nate was fabulous with her.

Cabot, Storm, and Misty got additional veterinary care, preparing for their joint venture of making more Newfoundland Ponies to add to the worldwide numbers.  

The ponies who were seen on this day were ones who did not fair the tough winter as well as the others, despite the pouring on of extra feed.  Some had cheek calluses and bruising from the sharp hooks - eating must have been painful. Two had tartar build-up.
We are looking forward to their digestion to improve now as well as their overall condition and comfort.

There are 6 more ponies who need power floating.  Getting everyone's teeth attended to will certainly make things better for them and for us as well. However we do not have the extra funds to pay for that at this time with 2018's hay supply coming in, but will be holding a special fundraiser very soon. 

Thank you Dr Nate and McGee Equine Veterinary Services for your kindness to the ponies and to us.
