Anyone looking for shet x companion? its their last chance

[VictoriaEDT]

I have a client who took some sheep to the abattoir in the summer and came back with 3 shetland Xs who were going to be shot. She has been trying to rehome them with no luck and today she made the decision to give it another month and if they dont go she is going to have to take them back to the abattoir.

So I said I would try and find them a home on here, anyone interested?

She isnt in a position to keep them, she has 13 horses (all v well kept) and they keep escaping as she doesnt have pony proof fencing. She cant put them in with her herd as they bully the little ones.

If I end up buying the 2 year old I'm looking at then yes I'd be interested!!

 

[hannahealasaid]

[emmanash]

Hiya Victoria, any more information on them age etc...?

 

[VictoriaEDT]

fantastic - hope nobody thinks im advertising but if it means saving the lives of these little ones then i dont mind!

Will find out more info (just text owner) but I know 2 are 9 hands one is chesnut and I think a pair are mother and last years foal

They are in Martock Somerset

 

[VictoriaEDT]

two girls and one boy
ages are 15 5 and 4 (wrong about last years foal!)
two are black and one is a chesnut (ches is called doughnut, named after my little hooligan!)

It's the last thing I need, in all honesty.

But I still have to ask - I am assuming the 15 yr old and 4 year old are the mares? As 5 yr old couldn't have given birth to 4 yr old

 

[VictoriaEDT]

anythings possible!!! lol
Think you are right though - im off to do some of her horses teeth on tuesday so will have a look at them

I would be interested in the 15yr old if no other home is found. I rescued a 12 yr old gipsy cob almost 3 yrs ago. Brought her back from the brink of death (vets said pts due to severe ragwort poisoning), got her happy, healthy, backed and winning dressage competitions and have now found a 5* forever home for her. Got room in my heart and pockets to help the next needy one now, just waiting for it to find me x

 

[VictoriaEDT]

aww bless you!

My client is lovely she isnt horrible for doing this, she feels bad but her theory is that she has tried and failed to find them a home. She was going to take them before Christmas but I convinced her to give me a month to find them homes

 

[Box_Of_Frogs]

Let me know if I can help VEDT x

 

[VictoriaEDT]

ok will do might have to take you up on that!

Will post some pics of them on Tues late avo so check back on here then!

 

[Tinker_Belle]

If I had the land I would love to!!

So hope they find good homes. Bless them. And well done your friend too

 

[Anna_Briggy]

I'll have them all

In all seriousness I will.

Well, my parents run a livery yard, but we live there, so I guess they are our own facilities.

We have:
*about 20 boxes
*a dutch barn for my two little ponies to share
*a 20x30 rubber track manege, which is floodlit, and is mainly used in winter.
*in summer we have a course of jump4joy and wooden fences in a paddock, and we have a 20x40 dressage arena marked out with white boards and markers
*we have about 28 acres of turnout

It's alright, but I can't really jump in the manege much, as it is too smal, but I'm lucky to have what I do have really!

Any news on the shetties? there was another thread on them a few days ago but as far as I know, no update, and several offers now.
