Personal Ponies is a non-profit organization composed of volunteers who strive to spread smiles to the faces of children who are differently able. We love enriching the lives of Oregon children with disabilities by providing them the companionship of a small, well-mannered U.K. Shetland pony to love and care for.

We also offer ponies to families, and various organizations, who have or work with children who are differently able, free of charge. The Personal Ponies Organization, founded in 1986 by Marianne Alexander, has grown tremendously and is now represented in almost every state in the nation.

At PERSONAL PONIES, we believe in magic; the magic that happens between a small pony and a child. Enriching children's lives, by giving them the opportunity to experience these sweet, warm, fuzzy ponies, that is our goal.

Discover how you can help spread the magic ... in your community.

-- Personal Ponies is like a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. It is a special place for students with disabilities.

-- These wonderful ponies are so motivating – they make what would normally be exhausting therapy a fun experience for children.
