Our Mission Matters
At Pony Heart Sanctuary, we are dedicated to providing gentle, guided pony and nature encounters for kids, families, adults, and healing hearts. We believe in promoting compassion and care for all equines and supporting nature education through hands-on activities. Our mission is to nurture confidence, empathy, and wonder through meaningful moments shared with ponies and the natural world.
Come, enjoy the view!
Ongoing Programs
Pony Encounters
Hands-on Pony Experiences
Gentle, guided pony interactions designed to build confidence, empathy, and wonder through safe, meaningful time with ponies. Private, one-on-one sessions are offered with our carefully selected, well-trained Welsh ponies, allowing participants to slow down and engage fully. Through basic horsemanship and groundwork activities, participants gain hands-on experience as they learn to communicate with, care for, and guide “their” pony through a series of thoughtful challenges—developing awareness, trust, and confidence along the way.
Photo Sessions
Golden Hour Photography
Private, appointment only photography experiences with expansive views of Mt. Pisgah and the surrounding Blue Ridge Mountains. Sessions are available exclusively during Golden Hour, when light moves slowly across open pasture, tree lines, and distant ridges. Each visit is limited to one 90-minute session per evening, providing quiet, uninterrupted access to a curated area of the property in a calm, natural setting.
Pony Celebrations
Celebrate with Ponies
Pony Party Packages at Pony Heart Sanctuary offer a magical, thoughtfully curated setting for children’s birthday parties in Fletcher, North Carolina. Each celebration includes exclusive use of our scenic pony farm, guided activities, experienced staff, full cleanup, and a dedicated Party Ambassador Pony who leads pony-centered games and hands-on experiences that educate and delight. Three party tiers are available, with optional custom themes to create a celebration that feels both whimsical and special. Relax, enjoy the view, and let the ponies bring the joy.
Special Events
Community Involvement
Special events bring people together for curated, pony and nature centered gatherings such as paint and sip experiences, seasonal celebrations, and educational group sessions with groups intentionally kept small and availability limited to ensure a calm, respectful environment for both people and ponies.
