Description
Meet Dylan, our 16-year-old Dartmoor pony standing at approx. 11.3hh. He is a very loving pony and will stand all day long to be groomed and cuddled. He is a good boy to bath and is good to clip, but he can find it very tickly so sometimes fidgets. Dylan stands well for the vet and dentist. He is good for the farrier; Dylan is currently barefoot and wears hoof boots when going for walks in hand. Dylan is excellent to catch and lead, he enjoys going out for walks in hand through the woods and around the site here at Oaktree.
Dylan does suffer from cushings disease, but this is managed well with medication. He unfortunately had laminitis last summer and although he has recovered well from this his new home must be able and willing to restrict his grazing and change diet accordingly to prevent further laminitis.
He is currently stabled at night with soaked hay and is turned out into a restricted paddock during the day. Dylan can be turned out with other geldings. He can be turned out next to mares, but not in the same paddock.
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.
