She currently lives happily within a mixed herd and gets along well with everybody, and once settled she may be able to stay alone for short periods.

Woody is a super cute teen gelding looking for a loving non-ridden companion home. He originally came into Blue Cross care in 2015 following a transfer from the RSPCA and has since enjoyed time in homes, most recently returning to us following the loss of his companion.

Woody is a lovely, friendly pony who really enjoys attention from his handlers. He is good to catch, lead, groom and have all four feet picked out, with good basic handling responses. He has also travelled very well for us, standing quietly on the trailer. His sweet, people-friendly nature means he may even suit a therapy-type home.

Currently living out 24/7 with another gelding, Woody has also lived with mares previously and is happy to part-stable when needed. Once settled, he is able to stay alone for short periods, making him a potentially versatile little companion for the right home.

She is currently working on second headcollar training and learning to have her feet picked up, and is making steady progress as she gains experience.

Currently living out 24/7 with another mare, Hummus enjoys equine company and would suit a home where she can continue to develop at her own pace. With her kind nature and willingness to engage with people, she has all the qualities to become a fantastic future children's project pony.

Like any young horse, he is still learning and building his confidence, but he approaches new experiences with a willing attitude and is a pleasure to spend time with. Currently living out in a youngster herd, Tyrell gets on well with other horses and would make a fantastic companion, particularly for other youngsters.

He’s easy to catch, polite to lead, patient for grooming, and relaxed for both the vet and farrier — a true gentleman in every sense. Mickey has spent his life being a kind and willing partner, and now that he’s retired from ridden work, he’s looking for a peaceful home where he can live out as much as possible with one friendly companion or a small, settled herd.

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.

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.

  • Non ridden companion
  • Needs restricted grazing
  • Handsome young fellow

Based at Rolleston Centre

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?
