Meet Tinkerbella, a cute Shetland who is looking for her new home as a non-ridden companion.

Tinkerbella is easy to handle when she is settled for her known handler and has been good for both the vet and farrier whilst in our care. She has even had a bib clip at the centre to help with her weight management and was good for this.

Tinkerbella would suit a home with other Shetland companions. She is currently being turned out on grass for a couple of hours and spending the rest of the day on a woodchip area. She would benefit from a non-grass turnout area and doing some in hand walks, giving you the perfect opportunity to bond with your new Shetland friend.

Can you offer Tinkerbella a loving home?

Melody is a sweet rising three-year-old filly who is ready to find her perfect companion-only home. She joined us in October 2025 after being transferred from a horse charity in Ireland.

Still young and very much learning, Melody needs patient, consistent training in all areas of handling—especially in leading and having her feet picked up. With steady guidance and clear routines, she will continue to grow in confidence and understanding.

Melody currently lives out 24/7 in a herd of mares and gets along well with others. She could also be introduced to geldings. She is an excellent grass eater and is a lovely, calm presence among other young horses.

If you’re looking for a kind, willing youngster to be a companion and enjoy gentle, ongoing groundwork with, Melody may be the perfect match. She’s ready for her next chapter with someone who can offer her the time, consistency, and supportive home she deserves.

Dream is a lovely 7-year-old Thoroughbred mare who came into our care in October 2025 as a transfer from an Irish horse charity. Dream is an ex-racer with a gentle heart, she is now looking for a calm, companion-only home where she can enjoy a peaceful, stress-free life.

Dream is a very sweet mare with a soft nature, but she does have some anxious tendencies. She will thrive best in a quiet environment with consistent, reassuring handling. She is good to catch and enjoys being groomed, happily bonding with those who spend time with her.

In new environments, Dream can be strong to lead, simply due to uncertainty. However, once she has settled and feels secure, she leads well and shows her true, steady temperament.

Dream is best suited to living out and currently lives happily in a herd of mares. With appropriate introductions, she could also be turned out with geldings.

Tweety Pie is a sweet-natured, affectionate little cob mare who is looking for a loving companion-only home. She adores attention, enjoys being around people, and is happiest when she can be part of someone’s daily routine.

She is easy to catch, lead, and groom, making her a pleasure to handle. She does need a bit of continued support with having her feet picked out—she can be a little fidgety, but is improving with consistent training.

As a companion, Tweety Pie is fantastic with both mares and geldings, settling nicely into a herd and keeping the peace. She can live out year-round or part stable, depending on your setup. Being a typical good-doer, she will need restricted grazing to help manage her weight.

Tweety Pie would love a home where she can enjoy in-hand walks with a friend, spending quality time exploring and bonding.

If you’re looking for a kind, cuddly companion horse who will brighten your yard, Tweety Pie may be your perfect match.

Mae is a very sweet natured mare, recently returned to our care due to a change in circumstances, now ready to find her forever home as a non-ridden companion.

This lovely girl has had a tough start in life but remains kind, gentle, and eager for one-to-one affection and care. She thrives in a calm, loving environment and would be a wonderful addition to someone looking for a true companion.

As a standardbred breed, Mae is an excellent at taking additional grass! Meaning she doesn't need restrictive management in any form. A great addition to other large horses of similar management.

She is happy living out 24/7 or being part-stabled, and she settles well in the company of both mares and geldings. Mae enjoys the simple things; companionship, routine, and kindness.

If you can offer Mae a peaceful, caring home where she’ll be cherished for who she is, please get in touch. She deserves a second chance and a loving place to call home.
