Health and Training

Alan does wear a full set of shoes, due to having tender soles. This would need to continue in his new home and financial support is available to help towards this. He will need to have his weight monitored and his grazing restricted to avoid obesity and laminitis
Training Level:
Alan will stand well for the farrier if a hay net is provided. He is good for the vet and has been undergoing regular training which would need to be continued in his new home
Alan's Past
Alan came to us in 2018 from another equine charity.
Alan's Future
Rehoming Fee: £50
Alan sometimes finds his normal day-to-day care routine a little challenging and we sense he struggles to communicate his needs when this happens. Ideally, his new carer would benefit from getting to know him while he’s still living in our Yelverton Sanctuary before he moves to his new home.
Alan is respectful of electric fencing. He is not able to be left alone in either a stable or field so will need a permanent equine companion. He would benefit from being in a one-to-one adult-only home. He will need to be given additional time and patience to settle in, with his training to be continued with his new carer.
Our Rehoming Advisors are available to help every day of the year. We will work to support you and Alan as he settles in his new home and can offer training and advice as needed.
