A friend of mine is setting up a small farm for her school so that some of the youngsters can gain confidence and skills from being around and handling animals. She's also training as an equine psychotherapist so that she can get the children working with the horses. She'd quite like a shettie to add to the collection of other animals. It wouldn't be worked, just groomed, fussed with and generally led about. It would want for nothing and would live with other animals including horses, sheep, goats and a donkey.

Does anyone have one that they might like to offer? It could be as ownership or on loan.

pm me if you prefer
 
Why not go to the Horse Trust, ILPH or redwings?

They were asking anyone who wanted a loan horse to contact them especially since the influx of the amersham horses
 
tis a shame you dont want a 15.2 mare!!! she would be ideal!! her bad point is she does not like to be ridden!!!!! have a few freinds with shetties so can ask around but no promises!!!

That is one avenue she will be exploring. I just thought that I would mention it in case anyone had one that needed a new home and wanted to loan them on to someone that they knew (albeit through a forum)
 
Gah. I'd offer you Dinker, but I'm not sure he'd suit the requirements. He's ok with adults (as we're more aware) but he can nip at times when being led or groomed. I can't remember the last time he ever got me as I am ready for him and can stop him. A child, unused to horses, may not be so lucky.

You have to consider the insurance if he bites I guess too.

Just asked tracey and she said she doesn't mind one that bites. If the kids can't groom him they can still do the mucking out etc. I should probably have said that her children are secondary age mostly 13 - 18.
