  Horse and pony adoption


 

 RSPCA Number 711445  Colour Grey
 Name Bubba (on hold)
 Age  7 yrs (approx.)
 Breed  Shetland cross Miniature Horse  Gender  Female
Bubba is a sweet little girl who needs a gentle new owner as she is quite shy and can become anxious with people she doesn't know. Due to her shy nature, Bubba is not a suitable pony for children. Bubba would benefit from daily handling to help build her confidence and she is great with other ponies so will make a fantastic companion pony. Bubba requires regular farrier visits and a  smaller paddock with limited access to grass as she is prone to laminitis. During her stay at the RSPCA, Bubba has made best friends with Arrabella (below). They would love to go to a new home together!

 

 RSPCA Number 714911  Colour Grey
 Name Arrabella (on hold)
 Age  3 yrs, rising 4 yrs
 Breed  Miniature horse cross  Gender  Female
Arrabella is a very sweet young girl who has real personality. She is easy to catch and handle, will stand for the farrier and dosen't mind being brushed. Arrabella would make a fantastic pet pony as she loves attention and is very friendly. If broken in to saddle, she will also be great as a lead rein pony for small kids. However she could also be broken to harness for an adult owner.
Arrabella will need to have a very secure paddock or yard to keep her safe and sound, so she needs to be kept in either post and rail fencing or secure ringlock or cyclone fencing. Straight wire and electric tape will not be suitable for her. Due to being a mini, she will also need to be kept in an area with little grass to help prevent her from becoming to fat and getting laminitis. During her stay at the RSPCA, Arrabella has made best friends with Bubba (above). They would love to go to a new home together!
