Personality
May is full of character and likes to be able to see what is going on in the yard. She can quite often be found with her nose resting on the stable door or even trying to get a step up on the door to see what’s happening. She will happily be groomed and will go for short walks on out quiet country lanes. May is good for the vet and is gaining confidence with her farrier visits which will need to be continued in her new home.

Health and Training
Health Status:
May has had previous colic surgery and has had bouts of colic in recent months. She also has sweet-itch which is controlled by rugging and creams. This will have to be closely monitored and treated in her new home.
Training Level:
May shows signs that she enjoys going for walks in hand. She is currently training to pick her feet up in a calm and relaxed manner.
May's Past
May’s dam was taken in as part of mass drift from moorland in 2016. May was born in a holding centre and came to The Mare and Foal Sanctuary in 2017.
May's Future
Rehoming Fee: £50
A coastal area would be a perfect environment to help with May’s sweet itch.
She does not respect electric fencing so she would need a home where she has good stock fencing or post and rail.
May is still relatively young so would require an experienced handler to help her with her education. Due to her breed, she would need her weight monitoring and grazing restricted.
