Tulip

Tulip

Available

Rehome Classification: Companion / Potential to be ridden

Age: 5

Breed: Moorland

Height: 11.2 hh

Gender: Mare

Colour/Markings: Skewbald

Personality
Tulip is a very confident and intelligent young pony who likes to be kept busy. She would benefit from a confident handler and enjoys interactions with her carers. She will stand, calm and relaxed to be groomed, for the farrier and our vets. She would need her weight monitoring and diet restricting due to her type.

Health and Training

Health Status:

Tulip does not have any known health conditions. Due to her size, weight management is important to avoid laminitis and obesity.


Training Level:

Tulip is not training for anything specific at the moment, but she has been introduced to clicker training and is a fast learner. She has previously been walked out in hand, met some traffic, and has seen basic horse agility objects.

Tulip's Past

Tulip was born in the Sanctuary. Her Dam was relinquished as part of a multi-agency rescue led by the RSPCA. The case resulted in the prosecution of the owner for causing unnecessary suffering to animals. 

Tulip's Future

Rehoming Fee: £75

Tulip is a confident pony so would be best suited to a competent and confident handler. She is very intelligent so some stimulation would be well received but we believe she would be suited to any environment. Due to her age, Tulip would benefit from someone with experience and time to invest in her, with consistent handling.  

Tulip would be able to live out or equally would be happy stabled part of the time. Being a native pony, she will need her weight watching to prevent obesity. 

Tulip has the potential to be ridden in the future if her new family had the relevant experience, based on her size and weight, her rider weight limit would be 5.5 stone. 

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