Queenie's Past

Queenie was part of a multiagency welfare rescue in 2012. She was part of a prosecution case and spent time at the vets before her arrival with us, as she was underweight.  

Queenie's Future

Rehoming Fee: £50

Queenie would be best suited to a small herd or with a retired companion who would never leave her as she does get separation anxiety and cannot be left on her own.  

 

She could live out, but she would need to have her weight watched and have her grazing restricted to avoid obesity. She would also be happy if she was partly stabled, and she is respectful of electric fencing. 

 

She would thrive in a one-to-one home with someone willing to build a bond with her, with a calm approach and consistency with her handling. 

 

Our Rehoming Advisors are available to help every day of the year. We will work to support you and Queenie 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.
