Retirement home wanted for gorgeous welsh cob gelding.
18 year old welsh cob Charlie is in need of a retirement home, he can live in or out is perfectly mannered and good with mares and geldings, permanently lame but on no medication other than occasional bute. If home can't be found soon will have to be put down! he is for sale through no fault of his own.
Please ask your friends if they know of anyone needing a companion!

Because there is only one other horse at the current yard and that horse is being sold and the owner is going off to college in September so he would have to be sold then anyway :(
 
Maybe look further afield for a retirement home otherwise poor horse seems like could end up in the wrong hands, sorry but aggravates me when horses are broke and people try to pass them off to someone else.
 
Oh no i completely agree, and that is being looked into but he would not be sent off to just anyone, he is just advertised here as an extra back up but he wouldn't be given to just anyone. they love him dearly and his safety and comfort is the most important thing to them but thank you for your concern :)

I'm pleased to hear that, I wish them luck in their search and hope he gets a great home.
 
Is he a black welsh cob x with a white star and scar on his hind legs? where abouts is he based, only I used to have a welsh cob called charlie who should be about the same age, and I was wondering if it was him, i know its a long shot...bout u never know?

there are lots of retirement homes around some are very nice i was driving for about 3 hours to see my lovely boy when he was in retirment every other weekend he was only 7 years old, we owe it to them to make sure they are happy till the end .
 
Just a quick google search for retirement livery, depending on where you are:

http://www.retirement-livery.co.uk/id1.html

http://www.retiredhorselivery.co.uk/

http://www.equineretirement.co.uk/

http://www.lydiaharvey.co.uk/index.htm?subj=Retirement+Livery

There are loads offering retirement livery, just check out the yard thoroughly first, then check the horse in the uni hols etc to ensure all is well, doesn't need to be particularly close to you. Much better than selling/rehoming a lame horse who is of an age where unscrumulous (sp?!) people may dose up on bute and sell as a ridden horse to some poor unexpecting soul.......
