Health and Training
Health Status:
Smartie is susceptible to sweet itch. She has needed treatment for dental problems and has age-related mild stiffness in both hocks. She is looking for a home where her weight can be managed. Smartie is on daily medication for her mobility. She is being rehomed on our Prime Pastures scheme, where we can contribute towards the cost of her veterinary care.
Training Level:
Smartie is good with the vet and farrier.
Smartie's Past
Smartie came to us from another Southwest equine rescue charity when it closed. We sadly don’t have any details of her past life before coming to The Mare and Foal Sanctuary.
Smartie's Future
Rehoming Fee: £50
Smartie has been relaxed when left on her own in a stable so may be suitable as a companion for a ridden horse or pony, but this would need to be built on in a new environment, allowing her time to settle.
With correct grazing, shelter and rugs she could be happy living out 24/7 but equally could be stabled for part of the time. As she has sweet itch, a windy, exposed or coastal site would be the best match for her, but this is not essential.
She would best suit a home with a knowledgeable and dedicated carer.
Our Rehoming Advisors are available to help every day of the year. We will work to support you and Smartie as she settles in her new home and can offer training and advice as needed.
