Yori
Rehome Classification: Companion
Age: 14
Breed: Dartmoor Hill Pony
Height: 12.2h
Gender: Mare
Colour/Markings: Bay
Personality
Yori has a nice nature and is lovely to spend time with. We feel she will flourish from the one-to-one attention she can get from living with a Sanctuary at Home carer. Yori enjoys being groomed and having human interactions.
Health and Training
Health Status:
ori does have sweet itch, an allergic reaction to the saliva of midges. This is managed with lotions and her rugs, which will come with her to her new home. She would not be suited to lush, rich grazing. Poorer, restricted grazing would help to manage her weight as she is a native breed that can easily put on weight. Yori has had successful sarcoid treatment in the past. This treatment has caused scarring on the abdomen and in front of her stifle.
Training Level:
Yori is good to catch and good with the farrier. Yori can become unsettled with injections and has been trained using positive reinforcement which has been extremely successful. This positive training would need to be continued by her carer, and we are able to provide extra training and support for this. Yori was ridden for many years but can no longer be ridden.


Yori's Past
Yori came to the Sanctuary as a youngster, when her owner needed to relinquish Yori’s herd. She was feral on arrival but soon started to enjoy human contact.
Yori's Future
Rehoming Fee: 50
Ideally, Yori would prefer to live on a flatter paddock. She loves to explore any enrichment she is offered. She would need to have her weight watched and her grazing restricted to avoid obesity. Her ideal home would be with another mare with similar requirements.
Our Rehoming Advisors are available to help every day of the year. We will work to support you and Yori as she settles in her new home and can offer training and advice as needed.
