FELLA – COMPANION
Breed: Cob
Colour: Skewbald
Gender: Gelding
Height: 13hh
Date of Birth: 2018
Medical Conditions: Occasional lameness in hind leg
Foster Donation: £100
Story: Fella was relinquished into our care in April 2024 by his elderly owner who was no longer able to physically look after him.
Personality: He is a sweet chap, generally easy to handle in all ways.
Experience: Due to his intermittent lameness, he has not undergone any type of ridden training. He returned from Winter Foster within two weeks due to becoming incredibly possessive of a mare in his new field. He is in mixed turnout here at the sanctuary and we haven’t seen this behaviour from him during his time with us but need to make any possible fosterers aware that he has shown this in the past.
Type of home: Fella is looking for a companion due to his lameness issues. He is sound and perfectly happy but every now and then experiences a bout of lameness in his hind leg. It’s not to say that he may never be able to be ridden lightly but the tests that have been carried out so far have been inconclusive. He would also be good for, and enjoy, attending local fun shows or participating in activities like equine agility.
