Date of Birth: 2019

Story: Youngster, Chance, was found running loose on the roads with a leg deformity. The local police asked a lady to take him into her field and that is where he remained for the next five weeks. No one claimed him and the lady approached us to take him in. X-rays revealed his leg deformity was more than likely caused by excessive workload – he had been shod in the past and we assume been used to race in cart. He was barely 2 years old.
Personality: He is a quirky chap. He can be rather stubborn when it suits him and has been known to rear and kick out if he doesn’t get his own way. Despite this, he loves fuss and attention.
Experience: Chance can be quite strong when leading in from the field. He is good to accept a bridle and adores a groom. Due to his leg deformity, he hasn’t undergone any ridden training. He can be a bit of a pickle for the farrier
Type of home: He needs an experienced home with a fosterer who is firm but fair, someone who will work with him to bring out the best he has to offer. A home who wants to compete equine agility or take him for in hand walks to prevent him getting bored and channel that smart brain of his. Somewhere quiet where he can’t get so easily distracted.
