Can anyone help a pony in need of a home?

Post by linny » 23 Feb 2012, 01:06

Please click on my link if you can help a very small pony called Herbie.
Herbie will be shot at the weekend if no home is found for him. :cry: :cry:
He's a registered Dartmoor pony from the Sherberton line, but due to his castration going wrong he is now a Rig. :roll:
He needs a home with geldings only.
Please feel free to cross post his details or contact me if you can offer a home.

He still has one testicle in his abdomen Bid so he has the physical appearance of a gelding but behaves like a stallion.

Thanks Nicky but sadly the owner of Herbie has tried many rescue centers but they are as we are...... full
I normally take up to twenty horses and ponies but we have 23 at the moment and a waiting list so can't help this pony :( :(

My contact has said she will be emailing you today - they can't offer a perm home, but should be able to help with some rehab to make him more homeable.

Herbie has a new home :D
Many thanks to you all for helping him by publicising his plight.
He will be staying in the locality and Rainbow will be here as a back up should the new owner have any problems
