For the most up to date information and updates, please visit our Facebook page. We post regular updates on all our ponies in our care, when they are available for rehoming and once they have been homes.
We also share lots of updates from horses and ponies that have already been rehomed as we love to see them happy in their new homes and I am sure you do too!
Below is Magic’s origional rehoming post from several months ago …….
She was returned to us last weekend due to a marriage breakdown ….
She was retired in her last home and really just lived out her last few months as a pet / companion…..
She is now looking for a new home ….. so if you think you can offer her a new forever home please apply for her via pm or email ( details of how to do this are below )
Rehoming post - Welt Magic
Well what to tell you about this fine lady …… she came to us incredibly under weight and in quite poor condition ( pictures NOT included below )
Initially ,we were quite concerned , we had been told she had been ridden 3/4 weeks before coming to us and did wonder how ,as she was quite skeletal ….. but she did have front shoes on ,so ….. maybe that was true …..
We ran full bloods on Magic and did a worm count , we de loused her as she was covered in lice and had bald patches ,plus she was also incredibly itchy …… we wormed her as soon as the results were back ,as it was clearly needed ,but her bloods surprisingly were totally clear ….. so we set about trying to fix this lovely lady because the bloods proved she was simply lacking in care , attention and most importantly food …..
She had the farrier to remove her shoes and do her feet , she had our amazing Dentist and Physio visit her too …… we set about putting her on a rigid feeding program with ad-lib hay and haylage and specific supplements …..
Magic , today is far from the mare that came in a few weeks ago ….. she’s currently stabled every night so we can feed her and deal with her bald patches , change rugs and make sure she has hay and haylage to last her all night …..she has regained her personality, her sassy side and started to put on weight and condition …..
Magic is approx 15/15’2 we haven’t measured her and 19 yrs of age …… she apparently had some sort of injury a few years ago which stopped her from jumping and most recently I believe was a companion before being ridden again before she came to us , but this is all hear say…
There seems no reason why when she’s back up to full weight and condition she wouldn’t be able to go for a pootle out on a hack every now and again but we really want a quiet life for this mare moving forward and I mean really quiet as it seems she has spent many years doing her previous owners proud and there comes a time in everyone’s life they need to slow down …..
Magic loads and travels well , good to do most things with ….. she can pull faces and stamp her feet like a lot of mares but she’s not nasty and gets on very well with Ben who she is in a paddock with …. She’s easy for the vet , dentist , farrier , physio , to catch , to rug , to groom etc …
If you would like to apply for Magic , you MUST live in Hampshire or the surrounding counties , you must be prepared for a home check which you must pass before adoption and another home check at 3 and 6 months …. There is also an adoption fee to pay ….
If you would like to apply you must pm or email with an overview about yourself , your horses , experience and current set up and also tell us why you think you could offer Magic the most perfect home …..
( this lady is incredibly well bred ….. her father was Welt Meyer - have a Google and see what a stunning stallion he was ….. and our Magic is equally as beautiful too )
All the volunteers, committee members and trustees have grown very fond of Magic since being in the rescue and after spending so much time with her …… but there is absolutely no reason for her to stay with us long term ….. she truly deserves a ‘ new start ‘ and ‘ new home ‘ that will love and cherish her for the stunning , smashing ,mare that she is
Rehoming post - Winnie …..
Winnie is 16 yrs of age and a TB ….. sadly Winnie cannot be ridden anymore , we are rehoming her as a companion only . This is due to very mild Kissing Spine ( we have had Xrays taken and it is just very slight in two areas but it would cause issues if ridden but she is perfectly comfortable in the field this has been confirmed by one of our vets , she may further down the line need steroid injections one day or maybe just bute but no surgery )
Winnie is beautiful both inside and out …. She’s 15’2 h and loads and travels well , she’s not a lover of being stabled , she prefers living out …..
Winnie is easy to catch and lead and to do most things with …. She’s good with the farrier and vet too …..she is very respectful of fencing ( even electric that’s not on ) and is incredibly quiet …. She’s very low maintenance is our Winnie , so would make a super companion ( or pet for someone that’s not interested in riding )
If you would like to apply to adopt Winnie you must live in Hampshire or the surrounding counties …. Because there will be a home check before adoption and then again at 3 and 6 months ….. please email us or pm us with an overview about yourself and why you would like to adopt Winnie , and most importantly why you think you could offer Winnie the very best home .
There is an adoption form that will need to be signed , there is an adoption fee to be paid and we also take references ….
