Thoroughbred Gelding - male
Thoroughbred Gelding 16.2hh - 14yrs
Dazzle is a beautiful horse with excellent conformation. He was badly abused during the breaking in process, however in spite of this he's a willing, inquisitive and curious horse. He has a quiet nature and is not easily spooked. Dazzle hasn't been ridden for several years so is suited to an experienced rider only. After re-starting or sending him to a trainer he would enjoy long rides, rounding up sheep or cattle, or would make a lovely dressage horse. He's highly intelligent and a talented jumper who can think his way out of problems. Dazzle is tractable, easy to train and responds well to the principles of natural horsemanship; however he's a big, strong horse who requires an experienced and thoughtful person to be his rider/trainer. He's previously been ridden by a 15yr old girl, and due to his history of abuse Dazzle's unsuitable to be ridden by men. To get the best out of this wonderful horse you must be a calm and confident rider who is gentle and caring. Dazzle loves to jump and has exceptional natural jumping ability, he'd also be suited to ARC, showjumping and one day events.
Dazzle was adopted on 25 March 2014 after 1.3 years in foster care

DSH - male
Carlo, after being in foster care for 7 years, will remain with his carer permanently after being diagnosed with Lymphomia. He had localised swelling to the face, enlarged lymph nodes and inflammation to his joints with tenderness to his middle body. After anti-inflammatory shots his joing stiffness has improved and for the moment he seems content just lazing around more than usual. Carlo also has a weakened kidney and requires Hills c/d diet for the duration of his life.
While Carlo is fairly happy and showing no signs of distress or pain then he will remain with his foster carer where he is much loved and very comfortable.
We are seeking sponsorship to help cover Carlo's ongoing food and medical costs.

DSH - female
Milkshake is a lovely, happy cat with beautiful facial marking and ultra soft fur. She loves her food and especially loves getting cuddles while eating and will come and get you with meows and purrs getting you to follow her to her food bowl for eat-cuddles. Milkshake is a small, gentle cat with lots of energy forever chasing leaves and paper-balls around. She is very entertaining and often sprints up and down the hallway chasing herself, or our other cat. Milkshake will greet you when you return from work, shopping or just when you get up in the morning with purrs, meows and weaving in and out between your legs. She enjoys our garden lying around in the grass but doesn't wander far away. When she returns from a stint in the garden she will meow to let you know she is back and ready for some food-cuddles. She is a very lovely, gentle cat that will suit most households. She has bonded well with our male cat, so I believe she would be fine in a household with other cats.
Milkshake was adopted on 06 October 2012 after 1.5 years in foster care

Pricillia (or 'Cilly' as we call her) is a charming and friendly girl who's always up for some adventure. She's super cuddly, and happy to curl up on your lap anytime and purr away. She loves roaming around the house with her foster sister Germaine looking for new places to explore and things to play with. Pricillia loves the company of other cats but would be okay as an 'only' cat as long as someone was happy to spend time playing with her. She also loves to watch you cook and sits on her carer's windowsill watching the dinner preparations. Pricillia is 100% litter trained and learning to use her scratching post. She is ready for her new home now!

Standardbred Gelding
Ben is a sweet natured horse who?s easy to worm, float, trim and rug. He was retired from racing in 2008 and is broken to saddle but green. Out of work currently, Ben requires a competent rider with a sound knowledge of dressage principles to continue his education. Someone with solid breaking / retraining / young horse education is ideal.

Ben is a smart, athletic horse who will excel with one on one care and consistent training.
