Horses, Ponies & Donkeys

​

We have a few permanent resident horses, ponies and donkeys on site who will stay here for the rest of their lives as they have medical issues which makes it very difficult to rehome them. We still love them and aim to keep them as naturally and comfortably as possible.

 

Our horses live in herds and spend the majority of their days out in the fields. If they need to be inside they remain in their social groups so that they do not become stressed. The retired equines are pretty much free to do as they please which is probably what we all hope for at the end of our working days.

 

They spend most of the Summer and winter out in the fields where it remains peaceful.

 

Sometimes the ponies will be inside if the vet or farrier is here or if we are doing some training work in a quieter area.

 

Horses can live into their 40’s and like all of us do develop age-related health problems that need looking after. Sometimes they might be a bit creakier and need regular medication and some extra TLC.
