Meet Rex
Rex is a handsome wee chap looking for a new home as a companion. He is an extremely cute little Shetland, and everyone who meets him falls in love with him. Rex usually greets his groom in the field with a wee whinny and is a very chatty pony. He is currently preparing well for the winter and is a little pom pom on legs so happy to live out full time. Rex can sometimes need a treat to catch for someone new but is a delight to handle and spend time with. He patiently stands well to be groomed and loves attention. He is a very sociable little Shetland who adores his friends so does get upset if they are taken away so not suitable to be left alone. Rex will need his weight monitored and grazing restricted so is best suited to living with other small ponies. He is sensitive to the dust in the hay so will need his soaked if fed hay in the winter months. Rex has Diastema so requires nine monthly dental visits to remain comfortable. If you could offer little Rex a great new home, please apply online.
Important stuff
Rex 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 Rex is not suitable to be worked.
History
Rex came into World Horse Welfare care in 2018 with four other ponies as part of a welfare concern. Most of the group were underweight with very poor feet on arrival.
