Meet Magpie

Magpie is ready to find a home as a non ridden companion. He is a lovely, friendly little pony, who loves attention. He has quite an inquisitive character, and is very much a 'give an inch, take a mile' type of pony, so he will need a home with a rehomer who can be confident when handling him. He gets on very well with others and is currently living out with a group of geldings although he has lived with a mare before. He will happily come into a stable to be groomed and fussed over and is good to catch, handle and bath. He is also a good boy for the vet and farrier. Magpie will stay on his own in a stable while another horse is taken out, but this would need to be introduced gradually in a new home. He needs his grazing restricted in the spring/summer months, so a home with an equine of similar needs would be ideal. He does suffer from sweetitch which is easily kept at bay with a fly rug and topical treatments when required. If you can offer Magpie a home, please apply online.

Important stuff

Magpie 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 Magpie is not suitable to be worked.

History

Magpie came into Penny Farm with two other horses after their owner could no longer care for them.
