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

Hugo is being rehomed as a companion equine.

Hugo 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 one to one attention and be given time to build a bond with his handler. His ideal home would be a quiet one, with a confident handler who can recognize when he is becoming anxious.

In the paddock, he is friendly in a herd, he needs to live with geldings only. He is happy to be part stabled, but equally could live out. He will need his weight monitoring to prevent obesity as he has laminitis in the past.

Hugo does not cope when totally left alone, so he will need a home where he will have a constant companion as he does get attached to his friends.

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.
