Meet The Minstral

Share this profile

The Minstral is a quirky little boy who will require an experienced handler. Although he is generally a poppet and really good to handle, he can change personality if his routine changes or something unsettles him. This has usually happened here when there has been a change in the herd dynamic and his sensitive nature has made him more reactive. On the whole Minstral is a great little pony and it could well be that in a quiet home with a regular routine and companion he settles down and this odd little quirk disappears with time. Minstral can only only share with geldings as he takes a little too much interest in mares and he will make a nuisance of himself.

Important stuff

The Minstral 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 The Minstral is not suitable to be worked.

History

Minstrel cane into our care as a welfare concern. He was being treated for laminitis and the owner was unable to manage the condition. Since being at Hall Farm Minstrel's laminitis has been kept under control but he will always require restricted grazing and careful monitoring in the future.
