Health and Training
Health Status:
He needs a home where he can live out as much as possible as he has equine asthma. He will need his weight monitoring to prevent obesity and laminitis. Jago needs more regular dental check-ups from a vet so he is being rehomed on our Prime Pastures scheme where we can contribute towards the cost of this.
Training Level:
Jago is generally good to handle but would benefit from someone with experience as he does need reassurance in some situations.
Jago's Past
Jago arrived with us after being part of a multi-agency effort to control population numbers on Bodmin moor. He was young, thin and feral on arrival.
Jago's Future
Rehoming Fee: £0
Rehoming fee: Not applicable. (Prime Pastures Scheme)
Jago’s ideal home would be a quiet one with someone with an interest in positive training methods as he has been progressing well for vet visits. He would like a calm handler who can recognize when he is becoming anxious.
In the paddock, he is friendly in a herd, and he has lived with geldings. He has been good with electric fencing.
Jago does not cope when totally left alone so he will need a home where he will have a constant companion with minimal equines moving around in the yard near him, as he gets unsettled by this. His perfect home with be with other equines that won’t need to leave him to be worked, so another companion or retired equines would be ideal.
Our Rehoming Advisors are available to help every day of the year. We will work to support you and Jago as he settles in his new home and can offer training and advice as needed.
