Hugo's Past
Hugo and Gabriel were found severely underweight and suffering from sores when we rescued them in June 2022. Our Welfare Outreach team worked hard to secure the best outcome for Hugo and Gabriel from start to finish, with assistance from the RSPCA to help us intervene as their welfare situation worsened. The pair were in urgent need of sanctuary.
Hugo's Future
Rehoming Fee: £50
Hugo will require a confident handler who can encourage relaxed and calm behaviour from him as he looks to his handler for directions and confidence. Due to his character, he would be best suited to a quiet home with steady routine where he can relax and feel safe. The best situation would be if Hugo and Gabriel are the only horses in the home as seeing other horses come and go will upset them, so a busy yard won’t be suitable.
Hugo and Gabriel need to be rehomed together. They will need be rehomed to a location which is close to one of our four sanctuaries so that ongoing in person support is available. We have sites at Newton Abbot, Totnes, Yelverton and Holsworthy.
Our Rehoming Advisors are available to help every day of the year. We will work to support you, Hugo and Gabriel as they settle into their new home and can offer training and advice as needed.
