Personality

Health and Training

Marley is used to the farrier, good to catch, lead and groom and he has seen traffic whilst walking out.

Marley's Past

Marley came to us following a multi-agency welfare case in 2018. 

Marley's Future

Rehoming Fee: £0

Please note – Marley will need a home local to our Holsworthy site in the EX22 area as he is not very confident with travelling.  

Marley is happy to live out or be part stable. He can be playful in the field and would be better with similar size ponies or larger ones.

Marley is relaxed if left in the stable by himself, provided he has hay and enrichment.  

He gets his confidence from his handler so will need someone confident who is willing to give him time to settle in and get him into a good routine. 

Our Rehoming Advisors are available to help every day of the year. We will work to support you and Marley as he settles into his new home and can offer training and advice as needed.

Become a Sanctuary at Home Carer

To help you become a Sanctuary at Home Carer, we have a dedicated team managing our scheme and their job is to help find the right equine for you and then support you throughout your rehoming experience.

Our Pathways

We have three rehoming pathways within our Sanctuary at Home scheme. These are:

Prime Pastures

This scheme enables us to rehome horses and ponies with long-term medical conditions that are manageable. You'll be required to help support their condition with regular monitoring and we contribute towards the costs of their veterinary treatments.

Foster

Working alongside us to socialise and train young or rideable horses for future work in our education programmes. You'll help provide a home setting for these horses to mature before returning to the Sanctuary for further assessment. We work closely with you to keep up to date records of their training, achievements, milestones, setbacks and all aspects of their care.

Standard

Means you help provide a sanctuary at home for as many years as you can for a horse or pony from our charity on a loan basis.
