Meet Apollo

Please note, Apollo is only available for sponsorship renewals, not new sponsorships as he has now found a loving home on our loan scheme and will not be available to see at our events. 

This stunning boy came to HorseWorld in 2019 as a foal at foot. He had been rescued with his mum Athena as they were both being illegally grazed on council land.

Apollo was very nervous of people, but thanks to the dedication and hard work of our grooms, has grown into a confident horse that loves attention. In fact, he will follow them around the field just to get a scratch under his chin!

In June 2025, Apollo found his forever home! But he hasn’t gone alone - he has been rehomed along with his HorseWorld friend Shadow. We are delighted for both of these very special ponies.

The welfare of our horses is always our priority and we want every one to have the best life. As you know, sometimes that will be rehoming them into experienced, loving families. Rehoming our horses benefits their wellbeing in many different ways; providing further education and training, enriching their lives, and allowing them to enjoy the very special connection they’ll find with their rehomer.

Apollo and Shadow left for new pastures with a current loaner whose horse had sadly passed away. After visits and home checks were completed, the boys were on their way to meet their new herd and settle in to their new home.

As Apollo will now be living off-site, he will no longer be able to attend our HorseWorld events, but you can still renew his sponsorship if you are a current sponsor or you can transfer to another.
