Rum is looking for a home as a non ridden companion. He is the sweetest horse and really enjoys human interaction and although sensitive, is excellent to handle. He does currently live out but could stable part time, if another horse was ridden or this was part of a routine. We are looking for a home where he could live side by side with other equines, rather than being in the same field. He can be overly protective about his resources when other equines are in his space. He does, however, like to interact over a fence or on a yard where he can chat to other equines over a door. This would also be important for mental stimulation. He is easy to do but does need a quiet, competent rehomer who he can build up a bond with and who can spend a little time with him daily.

Important stuff

Rum can never be ridden or driven.

All equines in our centres are regularly assessed by a team of experts including a vet, physiotherapist and farrier, and these assessments have found that Rum is not suitable to be worked.

History

Rum came to Glenda Spooner Farm in June 2017 following a call to our welfare line. He was very underweight, had a nasty wound to his leg and he was very nervous.
