Penelope's Past

Penelope came to the Sanctuary in 2012 when her former owner could no longer care for her.  

Penelope's Future

Rehoming Fee: £500

We would love for Penelope to find an active home. She is a great hacking pony and would suit a confident rider who is off the lead rein. She has shown us she does not like schooling in an arena, so is best suited to a hacking and fun ride home. She is happy to jump a small log in the woods and has been confident in traffic. She is used to being handled by experienced children. Based on her size and age, Penelope’s rider weight limit is 6.5 stone and a height limit of 5ft.  

Penelope will need a home where her weight and grazing can be monitored and where she will get regular exercise. She has happily lived with mares and geldings.  

Please note, Penelope is currently in a home in the TQ10 area, so any successful applicants must be prepared to travel to meet her.   

Our Rehoming Advisors are available to help every day of the year. We will work to support you and Penelope as she settles in her new home and can offer training and advice as needed.   

Become a Sanctuary at Home Carer

To help you become a Sanctuary at Home Carer, we have a dedicated team managing our scheme and their job is to help find the right equine for you and then support you throughout your rehoming experience.

Our Pathways

We have three rehoming pathways within our Sanctuary at Home scheme. These are:

Prime Pastures

This scheme enables us to rehome horses and ponies with long-term medical conditions that are manageable. You'll be required to help support their condition with regular monitoring and we contribute towards the costs of their veterinary treatments.

Foster

Working alongside us to socialise and train young or rideable horses for future work in our education programmes. You'll help provide a home setting for these horses to mature before returning to the Sanctuary for further assessment. We work closely with you to keep up to date records of their training, achievements, milestones, setbacks and all aspects of their care.

Standard

Means you help provide a sanctuary at home for as many years as you can for a horse or pony from our charity on a loan basis.
