Pixie
Rehome Classification: Companion
Age: 13 years
Breed: Bodmin Hill Pony
Height: 12hh
Gender: Mare
Colour/Markings: Grey
Personality
Pixie is a well-mannered mare who enjoys human company and is a pleasure to be around. She’s easy to catch, groom, and pick out her feet, and she stands patiently for the farrier. She has been walked out in hand, experienced traffic, and has been introduced to basic horse agility equipment in an arena setting, making her well-rounded and confident. She’s not comfortable with pressure on her headcollar, so we’re looking for someone with the time and patience to get to know her and work with her in the calm, consistent way she prefers.
Health and Training
Health Status:
Pixie has no known health conditions. Being a native pony, she will need her grazing and weight monitoring to avoid becoming overweight.
Training Level:
Pixie has been trained using positive reinforcement methods and engages well in her training sessions. We have been working on her confidence with loading into lorries and trailers and with the vet for injections. Her new carer would need to be happy to continue with this, and we can provide training and support.
Pixie's Past
Pixie arrived at the Sanctuary as part of multi-agency operation to reduce the number of ponies on Bodmin moor in 2016.
Pixie's Future
Rehoming Fee: £150
Pixie would be able to live out and would be happy stabled part of the time, if required.
She’s a lovely pony with a positive attitude towards everything. She’s relaxed when left alone in the stable, making her an ideal companion, though she would need time to build this confidence in a new environment. She is also respectful of electric fencing.
Our Rehoming Advisors are available to help every day of the year. We will work to support you and Pixie as she settles in her new home and can offer training and advice as needed.
