Health and Training

Health Status:

Vitani has no known health conditions.


Training Level:

Vitani has had a previous issue with injections and vets and has subsequently responded well to positive reinforcement and clicker training which has been extremely successful. This would need to be continued regularly by her new carer. We are able to provide training and support for this. Vitani enjoys a grooming session and will happily stand to be brushed. She can be nervous in new situations.

Vitani's Past

Vitani came to us a part of a large welfare case, with a number of other equines. (More details are available on request.)

Vitani's Future

Rehoming Fee: £75

Due to her being a native type, she will require a home where her grazing can be restricted to avoid obesity. Vitani is a sociable mare and will happily mix with mares and geldings. If someone had the right experience, she could be backed and start ridden work. Equally, she would make a lovely companion pony. Based on her size, her rider weight limit would be 8 stone.

Our Rehoming Advisors are available to help every day of the year. We will work to support you and Vitani as she settles in her new home and can offer training and advice as needed.

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.
