Based at Foster – Derbyshire Area

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?
