Bonnie is a very sweet mare who came into Blue Cross care in July 2026 from a private home, due to a change in her owners circumstances. Bonnie is of a rare Hungarian breed - a Nonius. Bonnie is now looking for a kind companion home where she can enjoy a relaxed lifestyle with other horses.

Bonnie is happy living out 24/7 in a mixed herd and can also part stable, provided she has equine company. She is generally good to handle in all ways and enjoys being around people and having cuddles, although she would benefit from continued basic training to improve her responsiveness when leading. With her gentle nature, easy-going attitude and love of companionship, Bonnie would make a wonderful friend to another horse and a lovely addition to a caring home.

Wilma is a lovely Irish Sport Horse mare who came into Blue Cross care in July 2026 due to a change in her owner's circumstances. Since arriving, she has been settling in well and showing great progress, with her confidence growing all the time. Wilma is looking for a companion home with someone who will continue to build her trust and help her develop at her own pace. She is good to lead, enjoys being groomed and is happy to have her feet picked up. We are currently working on improving her catching and helping her become more confident in new situations.

Wilma lives out 24/7 and happily shares her space in a mixed herd. She can also part stable, provided she has equine company nearby. As she is a good doer, she does require some grazing restriction to maintain a healthy weight. Wilma would make a rewarding project companion for someone who enjoys forming a close bond with their horse and supporting them as they continue to flourish.

Fern is a stunning young mare who came into Blue Cross care from the RSPCA in July 2026 and is now searching for a loving companion home. Friendly, curious and always keen to see what is going on, Fern enjoys the company of both people and other horses and would particularly love a home where she can continue to build her confidence through activities such as in-hand walks and agility.

As a youngster, she is still learning in all areas, but she is generally good to catch and lead, and can be tied up to be groomed, which she does enjoy. Fern is currently living out 24/7 in a mare herd and settles well with equine company. She could also part stable, provided she has company. She is currently working on her foot handling, as she can be a little unbalanced at times, but she is making steady progress

With her kind nature and eagerness to learn, Fern has all the ingredients to become a much-loved companion for someone willing to continue her education and enjoy helping her develop.

Pitta is a Dartmoor Hill Pony who came into Blue Cross care in June 2026 as a transfer from World Horse Welfare. Born feral on Dartmoor, Pitta had very limited handling before arriving with us, but he has made fantastic progress and is thriving with routine, patient, confident handling. Pitta has recently been castrated, and we are now progressing with building up his confidence with the farrier. He can be rehomed either as a potential project pony for an experienced home or as a companion.

Pitta is now becoming confident to catch, enjoys leading, likes being groomed, and is steadily progressing with his leg handling and farrier preparation. He is currently living out in a gelding herd and enjoys the company of other horses.

Pitta would suit an experienced and understanding adopter who can continue his confidence-building and basic education at his pace, helping him develop into a well-handled and happy pony.

Meet Olly, a handsome gelding who is looking for his new home as a non-ridden companion. Olly does get attached to his equine friends so does require equine company at all times, so would be a great addition to a retired gelding herd.

Olly is generally easy to handle including being good to catch lead and groom. He does require some extra training with his leg handling so does require an experienced handler.

Olly is currently turned out at night and stabled during the day on soaked hay for weight management, so will need a home where he can continue to be on restricted grazing.

Can you offer Olly a loving home?

Meet Rory, a handsome young gelding who is looking for his new home as a project pony or non-ridden companion. Once Roru turns four he can start the backing process to become a future childrens pony, or would also make a great companion for other young ponies.

Rory is generally easy to handle including being good to catch, lead and groom. Due to his age he will require some consistent handling to further his education, especially with leg handling, however, will be extremely rewarding to work with.

Rory is currently living out in a gelding only herd, due to recently being castrated. He will require some restrictive grazing due to his type so is best suited living with other ponies with similar grazing needs.

Can you offer Rory a loving home?

Meet Wally, a cute youngster who is looking for his new home as a non-ridden companion. Wally would suit an experienced home with other young ponies similar to him that he can play and grow with.

Wally is progressing well with his general handling but does require some extra training in some areas, especially with his leg handling. He can be a little shy when you first meet him but is generally good to catch and lead once he gets to know you and is very rewarding to work with.

Due to Wally’s type he will require some restricted grazing and is currently stabled during the day to keep him off the grass and sunlight due to his pink nose, so will suit a home with other ponies with similar grazing needs.

Can you offer Wally a loving home?

Agnes is a sweet-natured Irish Sports Horse who came into our care from a private owner in May 2026, due to a change in circumstances. She is a true gem to handle and is kind, cooperative, and easy in all aspects of her daily care, including catching, leading, grooming, picking out her feet, and standing well for both the vet and farrier.

Agnes is currently living out 24/7 in a mixed herd and settles happily in this environment, although she is equally content to be stabled for short periods when needed. She enjoys the company of other horses and thrives with equine companionship, so she will need a home where she has a consistent field companion at all times. Agnes maintains her condition well on moderate grazing and does not require overly restrictive management, making her an uncomplicated and enjoyable horse to care for.
