Horace 's Future
Rehoming Fee: £600
Horace would be best suited to someone with experience in EMS and laminitis to ensure this is kept under control, ideally in a home with a low grass area or track system. He is laid back in the field and has been living with geldings whilst with us. He would benefit from an active home with regular work.
Horace is looking for a hacking home only and is quiet to ride. He would suit most types of riders and is happy to go out in company, in front or behind. He hacks alone but will call to his friends at the start of the ride, ‘he hacks alone and because he will call to his friends at the start of a ride, this could be introduced slowly. Due to his size Horace’s weight limit is 9st and height 5ft2
Our Rehoming Advisors are available to help every day of the year. We will work to support you and Horace as he settles in his new home and can offer training and advice as needed.
