Personality
Inca has spent many years attending shows, rallies and pony club events and has had a very successful ridden carer. He has now earned his retirement and is looking for a home where he can settle and build a one-to-one bond with someone. He likes to be groomed and is a gentle boy.

Health and Training
Health Status:
Inca will need his weight monitoring to prevent laminitis. He has had equine metabolic syndrome, but this condition can be controlled by keeping him in a field with lower-quality grazing and regulating his weight. Inca has shown signs of sweet itch in the past, so this would need monitoring in a new environment.
Training Level:
Inca is good to handle but would benefit from someone with an interest in positive reinforcement training as he has shown reluctance at being injected by the vet so continued training will be needed in his new home. Inca likes time to get to know people.
Inca's Past
Inca was a drift sale pony who came to us needing our care in 2007.
Inca's Future
Rehoming Fee: £50
Inca’s ideal home would be a quiet one, with someone with an interest in positive training methods as Inca has been progressing well and is growing in confidence for vet and farrier visits.
In the paddock, he can be playful but is generally relaxed in a herd. He has lived with mares and geldings with us. He is happy to be left when other equines are taken away to be exercised, making him the ideal companion pony.
Our Rehoming Advisors are available to help every day of the year. We will work to support you and Inca as he settles in his new home and can offer training and advice as needed.
