BHS rescue pony needs a new home!

posted 14 Jan 2010 06:48 by Nigel Day

The following has come through from BHS:

One of The British Horse Society's rescue ponies, Dai, is looking for a new home with a knowledgeable and caring person.

Dai is approximately 12hh and around 16 years of age. His early history is not clear, but when he arrived at the BHS Rescue Centre in 2001 he was a very nervous pony. However, his confidence has grown and he is now a loveable pony who enjoys lots of attention.

He is being re-homed through no fault of his own but due to unforeseen circumstances for his current keeper. He has been living in Oxfordshire for the last six months and the BHS would ideally like him to be re-homed not too far away. The most important thing, however, is that Dai goes to live with the right people so consideration will be given to all applications.

Dai has been ridden regularly by a variety of children and his confidence has greatly improved. He really enjoys going out for a hack and jumping. He has also been to some Pony Club camps and fun rides where he behaved very well. Dai would be most suitable as a second pony for a competent rider.

It would be preferable to keep Dai with geldings as he can become a little excitable around mares. It is important to introduce him to new horses gradually when he arrives at his new home.

Dai has lived both in and out but he does have trouble keeping his weight down, so he is likely to need stabling when the grass is good or to be put on restricted grazing. Because horses are social animals the BHS wouldn't want Dai to go somewhere where there were no other horses or ponies.

The BHS doesn't sell any of its rescue horses and ponies so it is looking for someone to take Dai on loan. Anybody wishing to take him on will need to be approved by one of the Society's welfare team, who will pay regular visits to check on his well-being.

If you are interested in looking after Dai and would like to know more, please get in touch with Emmeline Hannelly (Welfare Executive) on 01926 707791, e.hannelly@bhs.org.uk; or Lee Hackett (Welfare Senior Executive), 01926 707804 or l.hackett@bhs.org.uk

For further information and pictures, please contact: Alison Coleman, The British Horse Society, 01926 707737 or a.coleman@bhs.org.uk

New Bridleway?

posted 13 Jan 2010 10:22 by Nigel Day

Message from Sylvia Sullivan:

Gamlingay Environmental Action Group are holding an open meeting 7-9 pm on Wednesday 20 January 2010, with guest speaker Andy Knight from Sustrans, at the Old Methodist Chapel, Green End, Gamlingay (in the grounds of  the First School). Andy Knight will outline an exciting new proposal to  link Gamlingay with Potton and Sandy with an off-road cycleway, footpath and bridleway. More information from www.geag.org.uk

Riders should attend because the proposals involve use of existing  bridleways and I believe we should ensure that if new paths are  created that horse riders should also have access to them - to create the cliché, a win-win situation!

16hh Bay gelding French x English thoroughbred to share/loan

posted 11 Jan 2010 12:02 by Nigel Day   [ updated 13 Jan 2010 09:52 ]

Jenna is looking for someone to share her horse Boris:
  • Hacks out alone in and around Cottenham
  • Boxes easily and travels anywhere
I live in Cottenham and Boris would remain in his field (stables and water on site). He will be 16 this year and would like to come down from open competitions in the summer but still loves to jump and is full of bounce.

I am expecting a baby in May so will have less time to spend with him. I shall be out of the country some of the time. My parents live close to the field and will be happy to share the workload with someone who would like to ride him in return for a contribution for feed and shoeing

Contact numbers: 01954 250967, 07879 687019, 07775 455816 or email jennastone4@hotmail.co.uk
