Murphy is a lovely natured pony who enjoys human interaction. He enjoys going for gentle walks and is calm and confident when participating in agility.

Murphy currently lives in a herd environment and is calm and relaxed being left on his own in the field or stable making him the perfect companion pony to a ridden horse.

He is good to handle and is well behaved for the vet and the farrier. He can live out all year round and does not require additional feeds or rugging.

Murphy does need to have his weight watched and his grazing restricted in summer months to avoid obesity. He would benefit from having a home where he has a companion with similar requirements.

Murphy is on a low daily dose of medication for his mobility; this will require monitoring by a vet. As such, he is being rehomed on our Prime Pastures scheme where we can contribute towards the cost of this.

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.
