Meet Derek

Derek was in a sorry state and completely unhandled on arrival at Hall Farm. Despite being on a steep learning curve, he is proving to have a willing nature and just needs help building his confidence in new situations. He is generally good to handle and once in a regular routine is quite laid back. Derek is a sociable member of the herd who tries to keep out of any trouble and avoids conflict. Derek may have the potential to back to ride in the future if his rehomer has previous experience of this. However, due to his lack of education in the past rehomers should be aware that he is green for his age. Derek will require time to mature and gain more life experience before being brought into work. Derek will have a maximum rider weight limit of 8 to 8.5 stones. We are equally happy for him to remain a permanent non ridden companion to others. Whichever direction his future takes him, Derek will blossom into an all round lovely boy.
