Personality
Hattie is a gentle little pony who is easy to handle in most situations. She is a loveable character and a sociable mare and will happily mix with mares and geldings. She values her independence but needs a steady companion and also enjoys coming in to rest in the crew barns or a stable. Hattie was hand reared, so she is confident around people.
Health and Training
Health Status:
Hattie has equine asthma and will require a dust-free bedding option if stabled, and soaked hay. Hattie has been monitored for Insulin dysregulation, so along with weight management, this will need ongoing monitoring. She is not on any medication. She will need her grazing restricted and her weight monitoring to avoid obesity and laminitis.
Training Level:
Hattie is now looking for a home as a non-working, companion equine. She can go for walks in hand and would enjoy in hand agility and different forms of enrichment. Hattie is currently undergoing maintenance training for injections and worming. Her new carer will receive advice in the positive reinforcement methods we use to ensure these procedures remain calm and safe.
Hattie's Past
Hattie was born in the Sanctuary. Her dam did not have any milk, so she was hand reared.
Hattie's Future
Rehoming Fee: £100
Hattie will need a home with restricted grazing, especially during the summer months. She would thrive with a companion who has similar grazing needs and in a busy yard environment, as she enjoys watching the comings and goings.
Hattie is easy to handle and would suit a carer who is willing to learn and use positive reinforcement training methods.
Our Rehoming Advisors are available to help every day of the year. We will work to support you and Hattie as she settles in her new home and can offer training and advice as needed.
