REHOMING PAGE

When fit and well, our horses and ponies are rehomed on a loan basis, rather than being sold on. Because we have taken on life long responsibility for our rescues, we have a duty of care to ensure their future welfare. We take this commitment very seriously and run a scheme of six monthly inspections. These inspections are an opportunity for us to check that the horse's or pony's needs are still being met, for the foster carers to get any advice they need, and finally, and certainly not least, for us to have a small share in the joy of a happy ending for our rescues.

Due to our requirement to visit our loan ponies twice a year, we do not normally rehome outside of the SouthWest (see the map of the area we cover).

If you would like to be considered as a loan home there are a number of ways to apply:

Please contact the SWEP Loan Pony Co-ordinator for full details of all the ponies ready for rehoming:

Rehoming latest update - 28th February 2010 (Click on the ponies small picture to see a larger picture)

At the Yard ready for re-homing

THYME – 12.1hh - Grey Mare - Born 2003

Thyme is a registered Dartmoor pony that came in from a private owner whose change of circumstances meant she could no longer look after her.  Thyme can be a little mareish, so will need to go with another dominant pony.  She does suffer with sweet itch, but not severe.  She has been backed and is still green, so could be ridden by a child, possibly lead reign at first.  Thyme is not good in traffic.  We would be happy for Thyme to be a companion to another pony or horse.

BLAZE – 13.3hh - Liver Chestnut Gelding - Born 2001

Blaze is a Welsh pony with a strong character.  He is a handsome chap who will make a great companion to another horse.  He can be ridden, but is a strong ride and prone to bolting.  Blaze suffers with Laminitis so will need restricted grazing.  We would be happy to home him purely as a companion.

BLISLAND SANDSTORM – Strawberry Roan Gelding - Born 2008

Sandstorm was given to SWEP from Hallworthy Market as he was destined to be shot.  He is quite timid at the moment but a very sweet character.  He is catchable and good with the farrier.  Not going to make a great height and is very chilled for a young pony.
 

EMILY – 11.2hh

Taken from the market as she had a young foal with her (Jasper) and then when at the yard we discovered she was in foal again.  She later produced Milo.  Emily is a very gentle character looking for the quiet life and will make a steady companion.

FLYNN – 10.2hh - Black Gelding - Pony - Born July 2008

Flynn is a recent addition to the yard from a private owner.  They could no longer look after him due to illness in the family.  He is a handsome chap, who won’t make any great height, so could become a charming companion.
 

TOFFEE – 11.3hh - Black Mare - Dartmoor Hill Pony - Born May 2009

She is a very friendly and affectionate pony that will make a quiet little companion.  We are not expecting her to become very big. 

ASH – 11.2hh - Roan Gelding - Born 2000

A great lead reign pony that is very good with young children.  Loves fuss and attention.  He will need an experienced home to take him off of the lead reign.  He would also make a steady companion to another horse or pony.


BORIS - 10hh - Skewbald Gelding - Born 2008

Boris is a very gentle and calm Shetland pony who will be a great companion.  He is very quiet and doesn’t look to bother other ponies which he is around.

At the SWEP yard but not yet ready for re-homing

WHIZZY - 9hh – Skewbald Colt - Pony - Born 2009

Whizzy came in with Flynn.  He is a lovely little pony with a lot of character.  Again he won’t make any great height so would be ideal for a companion.  He is still very nervous and proving tricky to catch.  With a little more work he will soon be ready for re homing.
 

AUTUMN – 13hh - Grey Mare - Born 1995

Autumn came from the market a few years ago.  She had a foal at foot whilst in foal again.  She has been in a home and been worked on, but is still very nervous and keen to have a quiet life.
 

FRAZER – Black Colt - Shetland - Born April 2009

Frazer is a lovely little fellow, who is still a little nervous. With a little more work he will be a good companion for other ponies or horses.
 

BUTTERSCOTCH – Skewbald Colt - Dartmoor Hill Pony - Born May 2009

With unusual colouring he is a charming little pony.  Some more work is needed on him, but he will also make a lovely companion.



ELLA – Grey Mare - Dartmoor Hill Pony - Born May 2009

Still a little nervous, but once worked on will be good as a companion or may have the potential to become a child’s riding pony.



OCTOBER – Skewbald Mare - Dartmoor Hill Pony - Born May 2009

October is the most nervous of all the foals, so will need a little more work to make her catchable and handled for vets and farriers.  She has an unusual colouring and may also have the potential to become a child’s riding pony.



 

WORTHY - 9hh - Shetland Bay Gelding - Born 2008

He has just been gelded and needs more work to handle him.  He is a hansome chap who will be a good companion, once he has settled a bit more.

 

LLOYD - 10hh - Coloured Pony - Born 2008

Lloyd has also just been gelded and is still very nervous.  Will need a bit more handling before he can be rehomed.


 

XERA – Spotted Mare - Born 2008

Xera came to us as the owner could not afford to keep her and she had a reputation of kicking out.  She is currently being monitored and worked on at the yard and we hope to be ready for re-homing soon.  She is a spirited mare who is expected to make a good height.  She could make a lovely show pony and possibly ridden.  Will need an experienced home to bring her on.


Not at SWEP yard but will be ready for re-homing soon

MOUSEY – 13.2hh - Grey Mare - Born 1999

Came in from market and was in foal.   Mousey is currently on holiday to another centre who will work on her to enable us to re-home her.  She is responding well so we hope this won’t be for too long.



BILLY – Coloured Colt - Dartmoor Pony - Born May 2009

Billy was discovered by Ten Tor walkers on his own with no Dam in sight.  He followed the walkers to their checkpoint, where we were contacted and took Billy in.  He is a cheeky lad with lovely blue eyes.  He would make a good companion, but could have potential in the future to be brought on if his new home wanted to.  He is not expected to become too big.

TILLY – Coloured Mare - Dartmoor Pony - Born May 2009

Tilly was born at our SWEP yard.  Her dam was very poorly and we nursed her through to have Tilly and give her that essential care in the first few months of Tilly’s life.  Unfortunately, Sophie did not get any better so Tilly became an orphan.  She is a very pretty mare who is expected to make a reasonable height.  She is already prone to jumping the electric fence so could be destined to carry this on professionally when older.  Would make a lovely companion initially, but we would like her to go to a home to bring her on in the future.

Not at SWEP yard but looking for homes

BART (SLATER) – 13,2hh - Grey Gelding Pony - Born 2001

Bart has been very successful in the pony club scene, winning lots of rosettes in Show Jumping.  He is a strong, sharp ride being suitable for a small adult or very keen teenager.
