Sophie is a beautiful black cob mare with a heart of gold. She’s looking for her perfect forever home through the Blue Cross Home Direct scheme due to her owner’s ill health. This decision has been made with Sophie’s future in mind, ensuring she finds a loving and secure place to call home.

Sophie thrives living out 24/7 but is equally happy to be stabled when needed. While she loves company, Sophie can happily be left alone for short periods once she’s settled.

Sophie is a sweet, gentle soul who adores attention and loves being groomed. She’s sure to win your heart with her calm demeanour and friendly nature.

As a cob, Sophie is prone to feather mites, so her new family will need to commit to managing this as part of her care routine.

If you’re looking for a loyal, loving companion who will brighten your days, Sophie could be the perfect addition to your life.

Meet Bill, a charming cob gelding looking for a dedicated and loving new home! Bill is a gentle, small cob who has great potential as a companion or future riding pony for a child. He’s best suited for a quiet, experienced home where his needs can be attentively met.

Bill has had a laminitis flare-up in the past, so proactive weight management is essential. He thrives on a carefully planned part-stabled routine with restricted grazing or a track system. He may benefit from wearing boots as he gradually starts light work to help support his feet.

Initially a little nervous, Bill needs a patient and understanding handler to help him build trust and settle in. With the right support, he will come out of his shell and show his sweet, willing nature. Bill is sociable with both mares and geldings and would make a great addition to a mixed herd.

Bill is a long-term project pony, ideal for someone who enjoys slow and steady progress. While he has the potential for light work with children, it is not a necessity. He would be more than happy to provide companionship to similar sized aged ponies or even potential as a non-ridden therapy pony.

If you think you can offer Bill the gentle and balanced lifestyle he needs, he will repay you with companionship and gradual, rewarding development.

Companion Pony - Noodles

Noodles is a charming and resilient pony who has touched the hearts of everyone who meets him. A former lead rein pony, he is now enjoying a well-deserved retirement and is seeking a caring home where he can thrive. Though he has stepped back from his working days, his kind nature and affectionate personality remain fully intact.

Noodles has a manageable health condition that requires a careful diet to help him maintain a healthy weight. Although he currently doesn’t need medication, monitoring his diet is essential to his well-being. He would be happiest living in an environment with sparse grazing or on a track system that helps regulate his intake. Ideal companions would include Shetlands or other small native ponies that share similar living needs.

This sweet, lone soul has so much love to give to the right family. He enjoys the company of both mares and geldings, making him a flexible addition to an established herd. While he can be independent, he also relishes quiet moments of companionship with his equine friends and caretakers alike.

Noodles is a delight to handle. He stands patiently for grooming and willingly offers his hooves for picking out. His cooperative and calm demeanour make him a joy to be around. Ready to welcome Noodles into your life? This special pony is waiting to find his forever home where he can continue to be loved and cherished.

Can you give Noodles a loving new home?

Companion Pony - Bailey

Bailey is a striking piebald cob mare looking for her forever family as a non-ridden companion. With her distinctive black-and-white coat and kind eyes, Bailey is sure to capture the hearts of those who understand her gentle yet reserved nature. She may take a little time to warm up, but with patience and kindness, she blossoms into a devoted friend.

Initially, Bailey can be a touch reserved as she adjusts to new surroundings, but once she feels safe and secure, her affectionate side begins to shine through. She’s a horse that thrives on trust, and those who offer her the time and understanding she needs will be rewarded with a deep and lasting bond.

As a cob, Bailey requires attentive management of feather mites, a common condition that needs regular attention to keep her comfortable and healthy. She will do best with an adopter who is knowledgeable or willing to learn about her specific needs and can provide the consistent care she deserves.

Bailey enjoys grooming and appreciates the gentle touch of a caring hand. While she’s generally cooperative, she is still working on feeling more at ease with picking out her feet and visits from the farrier. An adopter with the patience to continue her training in these areas will help her build confidence and trust.

If you’re looking for a beautiful, kind-hearted mare with a gentle soul and are ready to offer her the patience and care she needs, Bailey is waiting to find her perfect home.

Can you give Bailey a loving new home?
