Youngsters

Why re-home a youngster?

Are you confident, experienced and looking for a new friend to grow up with you?

We have many youngsters looking to broaden their horizons and to continue their education in temporary or long-term guardian homes. They range from 8 months to 5 years old from varying backgrounds, and therefore require guardians to be knowledgeable and patient to encourage them to blossom and gain confidence in everyday life. You can read further information on the Guardianship scheme here.

When the time is right we will come and assess the horse or pony to determine if they are ready to back or introduce to harness. We can offer help with this next stage.

If you are interested in offering any of our horses and ponies a long term home please fill in an Lluest Loan Application Form and send it back to us by post or email equine@lluesthorseandponytrust.co.uk. If you are interested in fostering please fill in the Foster application form.

 

 

Zazu

About: Zazu is a stunning Welsh section a gelding born at the Trust in 2019. Zazu is good to catch, rug, lead and to be trimmed. He can live out with both mares and geldings. He is happy to come in to the stable to get out of the wet and away from the sun and flies in the summer. He can get a little impatient sometimes when being groomed, this is immature behaviour that we are certain he will grow out of. He is learning to lunge and will be introduced to tack and long reining soon.   

Ideal Home:  Zazu’s ideal home would be a family who would like to offer him a lifetime home, where he can continue to learn and gain experience as a child’s pony. Being a native breed his new home will need to have an understanding of managing his weight to ensure he doesn’t get laminitis.
