Let's all show Billy some love 💓

Rising 3 Years

Billy is the perfect little project for someone. He is going to make a fantastic family pony. He is inquisitive and absolutely loves attention.

He is well handled and loves a groom. Obviously other than handling he's not done anything else as he's still a baby but we can't see him having any issues when he's ready for the next steps 🩵

Billy's loan fee is £250

Dutch ❤️

The kindest of souls 🥰

Forever loan - Hoofbeats Sanctuary never sell

Dutch is still looking for his forever home due to no fault of his, we have had 2 people now who have gone through the process, then things have fallen through because of personal reasons for them.

Dutch
Born 2008
16.2hh
Dutch warmblood
Gelding
Weight limit 13 stone.

Dutch has an amazing temperament. He loves attention and loves to be groomed. He is easy to catch and bring in and handle in every way.

He can be quite jumpy at ridiculous things such as sabretooth butterflies but just needs a confident handler who can reassure him.

The more he does the better he is, and is less reactive, he likes routine, and is not a horse you can leave in the field for weeks, then expect a plod out!
He does not enjoy schooling, but does get on with the job if you are consistent and confident, he loves hacking and fun rides.

He needs patience when loading as can take a while and does not like being pressured. He's much better if loading with a calm sensible horse that he knows but also needs to be able to trust the handler.

Dutch is fully shod and is good for the farrier.

Dutchs loan fee will be £1200 and will come with his fitted saddle, Bridle and turnout rug.
This money is used for the next horse or ponies rehabilitation.

If you think you are a good match for Dutch, please message us with some information about your experience, what you would like to do with Dutch, where you would keep him etc, the more you tell us the more chance we have making the perfect match.

We have been very lucky to have recently secured 10 acres of moorland grazing, with 2 stables and sheds, it's absolutely perfect for ponies and we are very excited... it's going to need to have work done to make it home, but we have never been shy of a bit of work..
Wish list for our new yard would be...
Wheelbarrow
Yard tools
Wood for repairs
Fencing stakes
Ibc containers
Roofing materials

Fencing rails
Water troughs
Anything really that you need on a yard... If you can make a donation of any of the above we could collect locally... If you would like to support our work financially, we would really appreciate a donation either straight into the bank
