Description
Meet Curly Wurly, our 14/15 year old cob mare with a stunning moustache!
When Curly arrived at Oak Tree she was extremely nervous of people. She has now grown in confidence and is easy for both staff and volunteers to catch and lead.
Curly enjoys a groom, is good to have her feet picked out and stands for the farrier and is gaining confidence with the vet. She is very easy going and is happy to live with mares, geldings, or a mixed herd! She can be stabled if needed but is also fine to live out 24/7.
This September Curly was assessed to become a ridden pony. Curly proved very willing, easy to lunge, long rein and ride both alone and in company. Curly is great in traffic including tankers, cars and cyclists. She is good in open spaces and does enjoy an occasional canter!
Weight limit - 60kg
Height limit - 5'4ft
Updates
September: Curly is currently undergoing assessment to become a light hack. She is taking everything in her stride and so far proven safe and willing in both open spaces and on the road.
November: Curly now hacks out a couple times a week around our local village and bridleways. She is good to hack alone and equally ok in company.

WE HAVE MORE HORSES AND PONIES IN NEED
On average, we have 400 animals come into our shelter every year. Please take a look at some of our horses and ponies looking for loving homes and see if you can find a friend for life. Where appropriate, all of our animals are vaccinated, microchipped and neutered. We also give each animal a behavioural assessment to identify their needs and help you find your perfect companion.
