Thomas

Age: 2010
Height: Approx. 9.2hh
Rehoming Fee: £200
Type: Companion 

About:

Thomas can be a friendly, easy-to-handle little pony who is mostly good to catch, lead, and sometimes enjoys a groom. He picks up his feet nicely and is good for both the farrier. He doesn’t enjoy a lot of fuss but does enjoy a groom now and then. 

Thomas has sweet itch that we’ve managed through the use of a rug, switch fly spray, and red bush tea. He has scarring across his bottom from previous unmanaged sweet itch. 

Thomas does have a history of laminitis, so he will need a home that can provide appropriate management. He was tested for Cushings and EMS in late spring and both were negative. We’re really pleased that since coming into our care earlier this year, with careful management, he hasn’t experienced a laminitic episode.

Thomas would thrive in a home where:

His guardians understand how to manage an unridden pony to prevent weight gain and laminitis. He prefers smaller companions and at least one companion under 12.2hh with similar management needs. A guardian who uses a track system for grazing in the grass-growing months would be ideal. 

Thomas has lived with mares and geldings, on a grass track and a surfaced track whilst in our care.

Lluest Athena

Age: Born 2013
Height: Approx. 13.1hh 
Rehoming Donation: £300
Type: Companion

Athena can live in or out with mares and geldings. She would benefit from some training sessions to remind her how to lead politely. She has been living in a guardian home for the last 6 years.  

Athena would thrive in a home where:

  • She can live with steady equine companions, enjoying social interaction and routine.
  • Her guardian has experience handling different ponies and is confident, patient, and consistent. 
  • Will handle her regularly.
  • She benefits from clear routines, firm but fair handling, and positive reinforcement.
