Terrence the Rooster

As always we have a number of animals who are waiting for a loving home to finally call their own, please forward this mail on to anyone you think may be interested in any of our residents below.

Terence the rooster is looking for a new home.

Having grown up with his brothers and sisters he now gets picked on by the other boys and has had to be separated from them. Do you have a flock of hens who could do with a man in their lives?

This beautiful boy (as yet unnamed) is a 5 year old, 15hh gelding. He is well handled but we are not sure if he has been ridden as we do not have enough hours in the day to assess him properly. If anyone would like to take him to work with him or even come up to the sanctuary to help work with him please contact us.

These two have had a few expressions of interest but no solid offers of new homes yet. Please share far and wide to help us get them a loving new home! They are good with people, kids and other dogs! They are also house trained.

Harriet

Harriet was found collapsed on the side of the road near to the sanctuary and is now looking for a special forever home to call her own.
She would like an indoor home with mature owners where she could (at times) be the centre of attention but also have her own space as she sometimes likes to keep herself company without being disturbed.

Raymond

Raymond is a 15.2hh, red&white, 14 year old gelding. He would make a lovely companion or possible light hack. He has a lovely nature and gets on well with other horses. He loves human attention and would love a home where he could be spoiled!

The Fonz

“The Fonz” is a 3 year old, 14:1 hh gelding. We have yet to assess him for handling and riding but if you are interested please get in contact.

Huckleberry

Huckleberry is a 5 year old gelding, around 14.2hh and currently unbroken but is well handled. He will make a lovely riding horse for someone. He is very intelligent and a real character!

Angel

When we rescued Angel she could barely walk due to her severley overgrown feet – our farrier didnt think they had ever received any care….

Teddy

Teddy came to us after running wild at a local forest park and was quickly running out of time as everyone else who tried to catch him couldn’t get close enough and were running out of options despite their best efforts.

Angel and Teddy are a very special re-homing case as they must go together. Having both come in to us in a very bad state, they have bonded so well together that we do not intend to separate them. If you would be interested in offering them a home together please contact us.

Angel and Teddy would like to be re-homed together
