The World Horse Welfare recovery and rehabilitation centre in Somerton is currently home to a number of riding horses of all shapes and sizes. The one thing that they all have in common is the need for a loving home. Centre Manager Janet Dale cannot understand why they have yet to find their perfect partners:

“For some reason we are struggling to rehome some really lovely riding horses and ponies and I’m not really sure why,” she says. “People may be under the impression that we only have companion horses available for rehoming, but this isn’t the case! I would encourage anyone looking for a riding horse or pony to consider rehoming from us.”

Janet continues: “We rehome all our horses and ponies on a loan basis and provide honest, expert opinion about their capabilities as well as ongoing support and advice.”

Horses and ponies currently looking for homes include:

•   Sherry, a 6 year old Shetland pony who has been trained for driving and can also be used for lead rein.

•   Rowanna, a 17 year old 12.2hh Welsh pony who would enjoy Pony Club activities.

•   Nicky, an 11 year old 14.2hh bay mare who is looking for an experienced rider who enjoys hacking

To find out more about these horses and view the others currently available for rehoming, please visit www.worldhorsewelfare.org or call 01935 841442
