Meet Dolly

Dolly is a gentle lady who thoroughly enjoys human attention and a bit of pampering. She is a good girl to handle and always does what is asked of her. In the herd she likes to stay close to one or two special friends rather than be in the middle of the general hustle and bustle. She can pull the odd face to a herd member she thinks may pose a threat but will then walk off to avoid any conflict. Dolly much prefers a quiet life with like minded friends. Dolly is prone to putting on weight easily so this must be carefully monitored. Dolly will suit a quiet home with a regular routine where she can relax and enjoy her golden years.

Important stuff

This horse is based at Hall Farm, where we’ve been managing a strangles outbreak in some of our horses. They have been screened using guttural pouch lavage (the gold standard test), completed a full course of strangles vaccinations, and spent time in quarantine in a green zone paddock. They are now available for rehoming as part of our phased return to normal activities.

Dolly 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 Dolly is not suitable to be worked.
