Lad is a 6-year-old Welsh Cross gelding looking for a companion home with an experienced adopter who enjoys working with horses through positive reinforcement and confidence-building techniques. He has had a difficult start in life but is a kind, willing pony who tries his hardest and is incredibly rewarding to work with.

Lad is still building confidence with handling and can be worried about touch, so he needs a calm, patient owner who can continue his training and help him develop trust. He leads well, is generally sensible in new environments, and has been good for the vet and farrier with reassurance and positive reinforcement.

He is happy to live out 24/7 or on a part-stabled routine and enjoys having a stable. Once settled, Lad can stay alone for short periods in either the field or stable. He currently lives in a gelding herd and would love companions who enjoy play as much as he does.

Lad is looking for a knowledgeable home that will continue his education, celebrate his progress, and enjoy building a rewarding partnership with a clever and sensitive pony.

Mickey is a gentle, affectionate gelding with a wonderfully soft presence, the kind of horse who quietly wins your heart just by being near you. He loves human interaction and thrives on calm, steady handling, making him a joy to care for day to day.

Jazz is a 3-year-old cob mare who is now ready to begin the search for her new home. She arrived to us as a transfer from the RSPCA and has been settling well into her routine while gradually building confidence.

She is a sweet-natured young pony, but she can be nervous at times, particularly in new situations, and will need a confident, calm, and sympathetic handler who can offer steady guidance and help her continue to develop trust. Jazz has already made good progress with her basic handling, yet she remains a young pony who will benefit from consistent, patient training.

Jazz would make a rewarding future project pony for someone experienced with youngsters, or she would be equally well suited as a lovely companion, especially for other young horses. She has been living happily in a mixed herd and enjoys the company of other equines.

She can live out or be part-stabled, provided she has appropriate companionship and a routine that supports her ongoing confidence building.

Jazz is a gentle soul with plenty of potential, and she is looking for a home that can offer her reassurance, structure, and the opportunity to continue growing into a confident, well-rounded pony.

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.
