HARRY – RIDE / DRIVE
Breed: Hackney
Colour: Dark Bay
Gender: Gelding
Height: 12.1hh
Date of Birth: 2019
Medical Conditions: None Known
Foster Donation: £250
Story: Harry came was brought to the attention of the charity in July 2024 when he was discovered collapsed and emaciated by members of the public. It was touch and go for him, he spent a lot of time at the vets, but the little lad was full of fight and made it through.
Personality: Harry is a very quirky pony. A big personality in a tiny frame. He loves to play but can sometimes be too bolshy and too much for the others within the herd. Due to being castrated a little later in life (September 2024) he still displays stallion tendencies and may be better suited to a gelding only home. He has been stabled comfortably next to mares but not turned out with them. He requires sturdy and secure fencing.
Experience: We haven’t done any training with little Harry ourselves, but we have been informed that he has previously been ridden and driven. He is a stunning little chap and may enjoy being part of the local showing scene although, unfortunately, he isn’t registered with any breed society. He is good to catch and handle but can be quite strong. He is good for the vet and farrier and enjoys a groom.
Type of home: Harry is looking for an experienced and knowledgeable foster home to bring him back into ridden/driven work. He will not be suitable for a novice. Secure fencing is a must. A firm but patient, fair and consistent handler who appreciates that this little chap has been through a lot. Harry is a very intelligent pony and needs a purpose to keep his brain focussed.
