Meet Dobby

Dobby, much like the house-elf he is named after, is very lovable. He is ready to go off to a new home as a non-ridden companion due conformational weakness behind. Dobby is a great wee character who just loves the company of both humans and equines. Like most young horses he has bundles of energy when out in the field and loves to play with the other ponies. As he can be quite playful Dobby can sometimes test the boundaries so he is looking for a confident handler who is used to playful geldings like him. He behaves well for the vet and just sometimes needs some reassurance from his handler when seeing the farrier. Dobby is happy to live out all year round and mixes well with mares or geldings. If you think that this young lad sounds right to join your horses, please apply online.

Important stuff

Dobby 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 Dobby is not suitable to be worked.

History

Dobby came into World Horse Welfare care as part of a large welfare case of cobs in July 2021. The group were in poor condition on arrival at Belwade Farm. He has since been rehomed before returning due to a change of circumstances.
