Heston is generally good to handle but would benefit from someone with experience as he does need reassurance in some situations.

Heston is generally good to handle but would benefit from someone with experience as he does need reassurance in some situations.

He would love a home where he will get lots of love and attention, he loves to be groomed and is a gentle boy. His ideal home would be a quiet one, with someone with an interest in positive training methods as Heston has been progressing well for vet visits. He would like a calm handler who can recognize when he is becoming anxious.

In the paddock, he is friendly in a herd, he has lived with gelding with us. He would be better in a home where he can live out as much as possible. He will need his weight monitoring to prevent obesity and laminitis. He has been good with electric fencing. Heston does not cope when totally left alone, so he will need a home where he will have a constant companion.

Heston is on a low dose of bute for his mobility so he is being rehomed on our Prime Pastures scheme, where we can contribute towards the cost of this, as he will need on going checks from a vet.

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.
