Jerry

Meet Jerry

Jerry is looking for a new non ridden companion home. He was successfully rehomed for many years but had to sadly return when his rehomers circumstances changed. He is a friendly boy and loves a cuddle and a groom in the field and is excellent with the farrier. Jerry doesn't like being left alone so would need a permanent equine friend or two. When he is anxious he gets strong in hand so we would be looking for an adult home. He is not a fan of injections but has responded well to clicker training and a competent, quiet handler. He will require restricted grazing to prevent weight gain and a home where he can live out with access to shelter or a yard area as he doesn't enjoy too much time in a stable. He may be ok if it was a barn area with an equine friend.

Important stuff

Jerry 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 Jerry is not suitable to be worked.

History

Jerry originally came in to our care in July 2014. He had been looked after by the RSPCA for some months before being transferred to Glenda Spooner Farm. It was hoped that Jerry might make a ridden pony but unfortunately due to poor conformation and hindlimb weakness, he can only be rehomed as a non-ridden companion. He was rehomed successfully for many years and only returned due to a change in his rehomers circumstances.
