Conan
Rehome Classification: Companion
Age: 11
Breed: Bodmin Hill Pony
Height: 10.2 hh
Gender: Gelding
Colour/Markings: Chestnut
Personality
Conan is a very sweet pony. He can be a little nervous with a new handler to begin with and wary of strangers so will need someone to take their time with him. Once he trusts you, you will see his more confident personality.
Health and Training
Health Status:
Conan needs monitoring for his weight as he is a good doer and needs soaked hay both for weight management and equine asthma. He does need sweet-itch rugs to manage his sweet itch along with creams and regular grooming.
Training Level:
Conan has been in training for IV, IM, and syringe training. Provided all three are incorporated into his regular routine, he is really good. Training and support can be given for this.
Conan's Past
Conan arrived with us after a multi-agency operation to reduce the number on Bodmin as there was a lack of food sources. He was feral on arrival.
Conan's Future
Rehoming Fee: £50
Conan would need a quiet 1-1 home with someone who is experienced with nervous equines and has the time to build his confidence and trust in them. He does enjoy his walks out so this could continue. He needs someone who has the time to manage his sweet-itch and his restricted grazing needs. A windy, exposed or coastal site would be the best match for him, but this is not essential. He would benefit from a quiet home in a quiet location where he can have a normal daily routine and not too many changes happen all at once. He cannot go with someone who has dogs as he has been known to chase them in the past.
