Can you give a home to one of World Horse Welfare’s loneliest ponies?
Laura
World Horse Welfare is urging people to consider rehoming, highlighting the eight horses and ponies on its rehoming scheme who have been waiting the longest for a loving home. Each year the charity rehomes around 300 horses and ponies from riding horses to youngsters and companions to project ponies, but there are always some beautiful horses and ponies whose search for a new best friend or family can be a longer and more difficult process.
Beautiful Laura is a 9 year-old Welsh pony standing at 14hh who came into World Horse Welfare with a severe skin problem called sweet itch that her owners had left untreated. Laura was one of last year’s loneliest ponies, having been looking for a home since August 2014 with no recent applications. She is a very sensitive girl who is too nervous to be ridden and so is looking for a home as a companion where she can build up a bond with her rehomer and put her trust in them.
Marble is a gorgeous piebald gelding standing at 12.3hh who is just two years old and looking for a home where he can be a companion, but once he is old enough could be broken in to ride or drive. He came into World Horse Welfare’s Glenda Spooner Farm with a group of five other horses who had been abandoned and were all suffering badly from worm burdens, malnutrition, lice and some with the highly contagious

Leonard
disease, strangles. Marble loves company and is always the first to greet anyone in the field. He is a generous, kind-hearted soul with much love to give. He also has a very impressive moustache!
Ten year old Ariel came into World Horse Welfare’s care emaciated and nervous after being found with a group of other ponies all in a similar condition. Ariel stands at 13.1hh and is looking for a home as a hacking pony for a small adult or competent teenager. She is a very kind mare with a sweet nature but is quite sensitive and worries inwardly so she needs a quiet calm rider who will not put her under too much pressure. Ariel is a fun-loving pony who needs the right rehomer to help her reach her full potential.
Five year old Salter came in with four other horses (all stallions) who were semi-feral due to having little human contact. Salter has taken a long time to trust people so he needs a home in a quiet environment where someone can give him lots of time to build up his trust and confidence. He has shown excellent aptitude for horse agility so whilst he cannot be ridden, he will make a great partner for someone who wants to take part in this and will be an ideal companion for other horses. He is such a kind, loving pony who just needs time and understanding
Four year-old Scalding Darren is a stunning registered Welsh pony who is looking for a home as a companion with the potential to make a lovely ridden pony in the future. Darren was removed with a group of 23 other ponies as their owners were unable to cope anymore and were about to lose their grazing land. All of the ponies were underweight and suffering from lice infestations, plus they had little handling. Darren is 11.3hh and is very inquisitive, always wanting a cuddle or to play with the other horses in his paddock. He will make a fantastic addition to any family.
Two year old Minty had a terrible start in life as she was found at just a year old abandoned and emaciated with a group of other horses all in a similar state. She was very weak, had severe diarrhoea and was struggling to stand up as her young body was so malnourished. Since then she has flourished in World Horse Welfare’s care and is now a strong, healthy two year-old standing at 13hh. She is looking for a home as a non-ridden companion where she can be a best friend to both humans and horses. Minty is such a sweet and genuine pony who is really in need of a rehomer who can give her the love she so deserves.
Handsome Leonard was born at World Horse Welfare when his
Nala
mother, Bounty, came in as part of a large welfare case found living in horrific conditions of deep mud, faeces and with only barrels of mouldy bread to eat. Leonard was born five months after Bounty came into World Horse Welfare’s Hall Farm Rescue and Rehoming Centre so had the best start in life and is now ready for rehoming as a youngster with potential to be ridden in the future once he is old enough. Leonard is a sweet, playful pony who gets on well with others and needs a competent handler to apply consistent boundaries, maintain his good manners and further his education.
Cheeky Nala is a very cute little pony with a lot of confidence! She is six years old and is looking for a home as a companion but with a rehomer who can manage her playful personality. Nala had a difficult start in life as she was found with a large group of other horses at just one year old, emaciated and with very little food to eat. She loves to be the centre of attention and will not be left alone in the stable or tied up as she always likes to be where the action is taking place. Nala cannot be ridden but will be the ideal companion and would love to go for long walks with her rehomer.
