Personality
Blackjack is a gentle natured pony who needs a calm and confident handler to bring out the best in him. He can be a little anxious, especially around new people or in new environments, so he will need a committed carer who will give him regular confidence-boosting interactions. He has really blossomed and is now more confident with the vet and farrier.

Blackjack has no ongoing health conditions and no ongoing medications.
Training Level:

Blackjack's Past
Blackjack came to us as part of a merger with another charity in 2018. He has been in a Sanctuary at Home, but sadly needed to return.
Blackjack's Future
Rehoming Fee: £50
Blackjack would thrive in a quieter environment. Being a smaller native equine, he will need careful management to avoid excessive weight gain. He has enjoyed gentle walks and loves having enrichment to explore both in the field and when stabled.
Blackjack would suit a calm, knowledgeable handler who is dedicated to bonding with him so that he can flourish in his new home.
He has been turned out 24/7 and is happy to come in and be stabled when necessary. He currently lives with a gelding and has neighboured mares with no issues. He has been settled in the stable when his companions leave him, making him the ideal companion.
Our Rehoming Advisors are available to help every day of the year. We will work to support you and Blackjack as he settles in his new home and can offer training and advice as needed.
