Chili

Chili

Available

Rehome Classification: Companion

Age: 10

Breed: Native Pony

Height: 13.3hh

Gender: Mare

Colour/Markings: Black

Personality
Chili is looking for a home as a non-ridden companion equine. She is a sweet natured mare, and she enjoys human interaction. She enjoys being groomed and will stand well when getting love and attention. Chili enjoys equine interactions and gets on well with most other horses and ponies.

Health and Training

Health Status:

Chili has no current medical issues. She would not be suited to lush grazing. Poorer, restricted grazing would help to manage her weight as she is a native breed that can easily put on weight.


Training Level:

Chili is good to catch, load, and with the farrier. She is generally good to handle for an experienced equine carer. Chili has been for walks in hand, with company, and is very well mannered.

Chili's Past

Chili came to the Sanctuary in 2016 as part of a large multi-agency welfare case. She has been with a Sanctuay at home carer for many years.  

Chili's Future

Rehoming Fee: £50

Chili would be best suited to a small herd or with a retired companion who would never leave her, as she does get separation anxiety and cannot be left on her own.  

She would be happy living out or part stabled but would need to have her weight watched and have her grazing restricted to avoid obesity. She respects electric fencing.   

Chili enjoys being groomed and having human attention once she has formed a bond with her carer. She will thrive in a home with one-to-one handling. 

Chili is with a Sanctuary at Home carer in the Newton Abbot area, so we would appreciate any potential carers being prepared to travel to meet her.  

Our Rehoming Advisors are available to help every day of the year. We will work to support you and Chili as she settles in her 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.
