Basil's Past

Basil arrived with us as a young foal. 

Basil's Future

Rehoming Fee: £50

Basil is happy to live out or be part stabled. He can be playful in the field and would be better homed with similar size ponies or larger. He has been settled in the stable if his equine companions are taken away from him.   

He gets his confidence from his handler so will benefit from living with a confident carer who is willing to give him time to settle in and get him into a good routine. 

Become a Sanctuary at Home Carer

To help you become a Sanctuary at Home Carer, we have a dedicated team managing our scheme and their job is to help find the right equine for you and then support you throughout your rehoming experience.

Our Pathways

We have three rehoming pathways within our Sanctuary at Home scheme. These are:

Prime Pastures

This scheme enables us to rehome horses and ponies with long-term medical conditions that are manageable. You'll be required to help support their condition with regular monitoring and we contribute towards the costs of their veterinary treatments.

Foster

Working alongside us to socialise and train young or rideable horses for future work in our education programmes. You'll help provide a home setting for these horses to mature before returning to the Sanctuary for further assessment. We work closely with you to keep up to date records of their training, achievements, milestones, setbacks and all aspects of their care.

Standard

Means you help provide a sanctuary at home for as many years as you can for a horse or pony from our charity on a loan basis.
