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.

Meet Dabs, a charming Connemara gelding looking for his perfect forever home as a non-ridden companion. Dabs has an affectionate, gentle personality that makes him a joy to be around. His kind eyes and calm demeanour make him the perfect companion for other horses and a beloved addition to any equine family.

While he is generally well-mannered, due to his age, Dabs would benefit from some ongoing ground education to keep him engaged and well-rounded. Dabs is currently living harmoniously with geldings and could adapt to living with mares if introduced carefully. He is good to groom, pick out feet, lead and see the vet and farrier.

He is content living out 24/7 or being partially stabled, depending on the preference of his new home. Dabs will thrive in a home that appreciates his companion-only status and can continue to nurture his friendly nature. He may enjoy walks out in hand or even equine agility.

If you’re looking for a warm-hearted equine to bring friendship and joy to your herd, Dabs is ready to be that special presence. Reach out to learn more and see if your home could be the perfect match for this lovable gelding.

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.
