Introducing Delight a 20 yr-old 15hh Bay Thoroughbred gelding.
Although much loved by the family, their
inexperience to properly look after him saw Delight at risk of declining further.
Delight is at the moment fairly quiet, calm and a real gentle soul. He is very polite and gentle with other horses and animals. He is
showing that he is good to handle and is not fazed by anything so far. Delight is certainly showing a preference towards an apple or two and
gently takes them from your hand.
He's a pleasure to handle and enjoys being with people and will gladly accept a cuddle.
He was maybe a body score of 2 but just after a week of the right feeds in the right amounts he has already shown an improvement
He is in short term care with one of our experienced carers who will be working with local horse care professionals to get him back to the
once grand horse he was. If appropriate he will be assessed for riding but only if his body builds up and his muscle tone improves. We are
thinking that his kind nature, he may suit being a therapy horse.
Once Delight has completed his rehabilitation, he will be available for Long Term Lease. You can express your interest now by emailing

condition along with a compromised state of not being valued as a sentient creature. Under veterinary advice, skilled farrier and
a very knowledgeable home, Magnum will be receiving the best of care during his extensive rehabilitation. We expect that Magnum will make a
remarkable recovery during his high intensive care plan with one of our most experienced short term carers.

Introducing Rudy a 20 year -old, 15.1hh, Chestnut Thoroughbred, gelding.
Recently surrendered from a well meaning but inexperienced home. He is currently undergoing the initial stages of his rehabilitation.
Rudy has had a thourough vet and dental check along with farrier work . It was evident that there are a few years of catching up to do with managing an older horse.
His FEC was very high 2320 Strongyles. His eye was quite cloudy.
There is an ulcer to the right eye with a small section of cornea that is lifting.
This will require treatment with ointment 3 times daily and will have a revisit to trim the excess corneal tissue. Sheath cleaned and bean
removed.
Several small feeds per day along with a 5-day course of drenching will have him on the way up.
He is with one of our very hands on short term carers that is giving him all the care and company he needs.
We are keen to see Rudy transition to horse that will still have so much more to live for.
Rudy will be available once he has all the assessments finalised and given the ok to re home under our Long Term Lease Agreement.
