Sponsorships and Scholarships
There are two meaningful ways to support New Spring Vista: helping us provide excellent lifelong care for our much-loved herd, or helping us create funded places for children and young people who might otherwise miss out.
Become Part of the New Spring Vista Family
Sponsoring a pony at New Spring Vista CIC is a simple but meaningful way to support the care, wellbeing, and happiness of our much-loved ponies. Every sponsorship helps towards costs of essential daily care including feed, bedding, hoof care, veterinary support, enrichment, (don't forget the treats!) and the safe environment our ponies need to thrive.
Our ponies play a special role within New Spring Vista, bringing comfort, connection, and joy to the people who spend time with them. Whether you are a lifelong horse lover, looking for a thoughtful gift, or simply want to support a cause that makes a genuine difference, becoming a sponsor is a wonderful way to be part of their journey.
By sponsoring a pony, you become part of the New Spring Vista community — helping us continue creating a caring, supportive space for both animals and people alike.
How Does Sponsoring a Pony Work?
Your sponsorship begins as soon as your first donation is received and continues for as long as you choose to support us.
Monthly sponsorships are the most popular option, but one-off or annual donations are also warmly welcomed. Every contribution, no matter the size, helps New Spring Vista CIC provide ongoing care, shelter, feed and bedding and love for our ponies.
Step 1. Choose Your Pony
Browse our ponies and select the one you would like to sponsor. Every pony can have multiple sponsors, meaning more support, care, and happiness for each animal.
Step 2. Select Your Sponsorship Amount
Choose a donation amount that works for you. A suggested minimum of £5 per month helps support feed, bedding, veterinary care, and daily wellbeing.
Step 3. Complete Your Sponsorship Form
Fill in our simple sponsorship form and set up your donation. We’ll send you confirmation details along with updates about your sponsored pony and the difference your support is making.

Help Create a Vista Grace Place
Funded opportunities, made possible by our supporters
We believe every child should have the opportunity to feel safe, understood and valued, regardless of their family’s financial circumstances.
Vista Grace is a proposed scholarship programme being developed by New Spring Vista CIC. With the support of sponsors, funders and community partners, it aims to provide funded and part-funded places for children and young people aged 3–18 who could benefit from our equine-facilitated and nature-based programmes but may otherwise face financial barriers.
Vista Grace funding could help children and young people experiencing financial hardship alongside needs such as SEND, anxiety, trauma, bereavement, difficulties engaging with learning or social isolation.
Our proposed scholarship awards
-
Vista Grace Seed Award: 50% of an agreed programme fee funded
-
Vista Grace Silver Award: 75% funded
-
Vista Grace Gold Award: 100% funded
Awards would be subject to available sponsorship, demonstrated need, programme suitability and New Spring Vista’s capacity.
What could your support provide?
Using Confidence Conquerors as an example:
-
£180 could provide a 50% funded Seed Award
-
£270 could provide a 75% funded Silver Award
-
£360 could provide one fully funded Gold Award
-
£1,080 could provide three fully funded programme places
-
£3,600 could provide ten fully funded programme places
Contributions of any size would help us move closer to creating the first Vista Grace places. Funding for more specialist provision, including Learning Inside Out, would be calculated according to the individual support required.
Help us bring Vista Grace to life
Vista Grace scholarship applications are not currently open because sponsorship funding has not yet been secured. We are now seeking individuals, businesses, grant funders and community partners who share our belief that financial circumstances should not prevent a child from accessing meaningful support.
If you are interested in funding or contributing towards a Vista Grace place, we would love to hear from you.
