Shetland rehoming?

[ElleSkywalker]

I may be in need of a companion to keep my standard shetland company. The shetland will want for nothing, live on a mini track with shelter in summer and mud free turn out in winter as well as having its own stable. It will be weighed every 3 months by independent nutritionist and see farrier every 6 weeks and vet when needed etc.

I've contacted WHW and they have none at present and there aren't any showing on Blue Cross, Bransby, or RSPCA websites. Does anyone know of any smaller charities that might have one, or two if they need to go together and can share a stable.

I'd rather not buy one as will end up with the never ending shetland so rehoming from a charity I could send back to should anything happen to my little princess would be best. Says she who 'borrowed' said shetland 17 years ago for 6 months ?

Anyone got any ideas? Am based in middle of country but happy to travel

I’ve heard good things about this charity https://www.mini-munchkins.org/

https://www.facebook.com/EMWSanctuaries/ Had one a while ago I think. They may also know of one if they don’t have anything suitable.

If you're within 1.5 maybe 2 hrs of east Devon (they like to do 6 monthly/yearly checks, so can't be too far) then defo munchkins as above.

Sadly no where near mini munchkins

This page mentions a 15 years old Shetland who should soon have finished his rehabilitation, scroll down to HAPPA Michael https://www.happa.org.uk/rescue-reh..._GkLsPiU_UE2pFT-UJPMBgxoLxro8rGcPAMxOh-jcjDtQ

Could it be worth putting out a wanted add? Or do you want to rehome via an "official" charity?

Thanks for all the links above I'm looking into them all.

Wishfilly a wanted ad is the next step, I'd rather go through an official charity so the option of returning is available but as mentioned above I've never returned or sold on a single horse I've owned so pretty certain even if the option was available I'd end up keeping it till the end ?
