Archer

Meet Archer

Archer is a handsome wee piebald gelding looking for a new home as a companion. He came in as part of a large welfare case and has turned into a lovely, friendly pony who is always up to mischief with his field mates. Archer enjoys attention and is good to catch, brush and for all his basic handling. He was gelded later in life and still has stallion tendencies so does require a confident handler to keep his manners in check as he has been known to nip if he gets himself very wound up. Archer has a short back and does not have the temperament to be a child’s ridden pony but will make a great companion to other geldings. He is a very playful pony when out in the field and gets on brilliantly well with all his field mates as he’s very sociable. Archer will need a home with other good doers as he needs his condition monitored and grazing restricted, especially during the summer months. Archer has beautiful markings and has a very cheeky, endearing personality that you cannot help but love. If you think Archer sounds right to join your ponies, please submit an online application.
