Height: 13hh
Gender: Mare
Colour/Markings: Grey
Personality
Rain is a very intelligent pony who likes to learn new things and be kept busy. In a herd, Rain is very relaxed and mixes well with other equines. She has sweet itch and because of this can be sensitive with touch, as long as this is managed well, she is quite content with being groomed and having some affection. Rain loves carrots and nuggets that are used in her training.
Health and Training
Health Status:
Rain has sweet itch, an allergic reaction to the saliva of midges. She will need to wear sweet itch, waterproof fly, and turn out rugs for this and her rugs would come with her. Rain will need her weight monitored to avoid obesity
Training Level:
Rain has been under veterinary training for a few years and will now let vets approach and examine her as well as carry out injections without showing any adverse reactions. Rain will need this training continued as she will need to be sedated for any dental or further veterinary work required. She would benefit from finding a carer with an interest in positive training. We can provide additional training and support for this.


Rain's Past
Rain came to the Sanctuary as part of our 2018 merger with another charity. We don’t know much about her history before then.
Rain's Future
Rehoming Fee: £50
Rain’s ideal home would be one where she has plenty of enrichment and activity to stimulate and keep her busy.
Rain would be suited to most adult-only homes with a confident carer who has experience with ponies and can give her individual time and attention to manage her sweet itch and build a bond with her.
A windy, exposed or coastal site would be the best match for Rain, but this is not essential.
Our Rehoming Advisors are available to help every day of the year. We will work to support you and Rain as she settles in her new home and can offer training and advice as needed.
