Duchess - full profile

Introduction

Duchess is ready to find a new home as a non ridden companion. She is very inquisitive and loves human and equine company, always coming over to see if anyone has any goodies for her. Duchess is good to handle but does need her boundaries kept in place. In a home, she would suit someone with experience of bigger, young horses and who has a little time to dedicate to her each day. Sadly, due to poor, weak conformation she cannot be ridden but could participate in horse agility which would be great for her education on the ground. Duchess is a super companion and loves interacting with her field friends. She currently lives out on normal grazing and has stood in a stable for short periods. Potentially, if another horse was ridden, she could stay on her own if introduced gradually. She is approximately 14.3hh at present but may have a bit more growng to do.

Temperament

Very inquisitive and good to catch but as she is still young, she will need a competent rehomer to handle her on the ground.

History

Duchess arrived in very poor condition with another horse in December 2018. She was very thin, had overgrown hooves and although she was not nervous, she hadn't had much handling.
