Meet Otis

Otis's time in our care has been supported by Retraining of Racehorses (ROR), the official charity for the welfare of horses who have retired from racing. Otis is ready to rehome as a non ridden companion. He is an incredibly friendly chap, who loves lots of fuss and attention. He is quite an inquisitive horse, who gets on well with others, especially his friend Sandblast, they are never seen far from each other. He is very good to catch, handle, groom, bath and for the vet and farrier. He doesn't need his grazing restricted so would be better suited to a home with other horses that need a bit more grass. He will come into a stable if there are other horses around him and he doesn't like being left on his own, so it is important he has the company of another equine at all times. If you can offer Otis a home, please apply online.

Important stuff

Otis 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 Otis is not suitable to be worked.

History

Otis came into Penny Farm very underweight.
