CALVIN – COMPANION
Breed: Dutch Warmblodd
Colour: Bay
Gender: Gelding
Height: 16.2hh
Date of Birth: 2007
Medical Conditions: has had stomach ulcers and lameness issues in the past.
Foster Donation: £100
Story: Calvin was relinquished into the charity’s care in February 2024 along with 3 others following an abandonment notice being served.
Personality: He enjoys being turned out and loves to stretch his legs. He gets very attached to his chosen friend which can result in bouts of separation anxiety if they are parted. He is a sweet and loving chap who is just looking for somewhere calm and quiet where he can settle with a companion or two.
Experience: He is ready to enjoy a quiet life. He was being brought back into light ridden work but unfortunately as this increased, he began to show signs of lameness, and developed stomach ulcers, and has now been retired. He can bolt when being led but is good for the vet and farrier. He loves his food
Type of home: Calvin needs an experienced home where he can pass away the time grazing in the paddock beside another horse. The past year has been unsettling for him and someone who is firm but fair would be perfect to correct the undesirable behaviours he sometimes shows.
