SCARLETT – COMPANION
Breed: Trotter
Colour: Dark bay
Gender: Mare
Height: 15.2hh
Date of Birth: June 2016
Medical Conditions: Breathing issues
Foster Donation: £100
Story: Scarlett came into our care in August 2022, relinquished by her owner due to Scarlett’s ongoing medical issues and her owner’s lack of funds. We were informed that she has been ridden in the past but her respiratory issues mean she is being advertised as a companion only.
Personality: She is a sensitive soul who can be difficult to catch and handle. Once she learns it’s for something good she comes round to the idea. She gets on well with other horses, and get anxious when separated. She develops close bonds. She isn’t nasty, just highly strung.
Experience: Scarlett can be difficult to load onto horse box or trailer but will get there eventually. She is good for the farrier but can be fidgety. A hay net or molasses lick is usually enough to keep her occupied.
Type of home: A quiet yard with someone willing to work with her and give her the time she needs to be herself. She would need to live out due to her breathing issues. In addition to this, she also requires soaked hay and dust free bedding.
