Hattie

Hattie

Available

Rehome Classification: Companion

Age: 15

Breed: Dartmoor Hill Pony

Height: 10.3hh

Gender: Mare

Colour/Markings: Bay

Personality
Hattie is a gentle little pony. She is good to walk out on the lanes, groom and pick out her feet. She is a confident mare and currently lives out in a herd but has lived with just one other pony in the past. She likes to come in and have a rest from the field in our crew barns.

Health and Training

Health Status:

Hattie has no current health conditions, but she has shown signs of equine asthma in the past, so a low dust environment and soaked hay would be ideal for her. Being a small native pony, she will need her weight monitoring to avoid obesity and laminitis.


Training Level:

Hattie is now retired from driven work. She is clicker-trained for injections and worming. We can offer training and support for this if needed.

Hattie's Past

Hattie was born in the Sanctuary and had to be hand reared as her dam had no milk. As a result, she is very confident around people. She has been in a home away from the Sanctuary and recently returned through no fault of her own.  

Hattie's Future

Rehoming Fee: £50

Hattie would be happy in a fairly busy home as she enjoys watching what is going on. She would need a quiet but confident handler. Her ideal home would be with other equines with similar restricted grazing needs. She is happy to go for in hand walks and has done horse agility in the past.  

 

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.
