Elzaa
Thoroughbred · 11-13 Years · Female · Large
Co. Longford, Ireland
Elzaa is a lovely mare and a real sweetheart... Elzaa is a lovely mare and a real sweetheart looking for her next chapter. An ex-racehorse, she has come from a caring home and was surrendered into our care, so she has thankfully not experienced the neglect or mistreatment that many rescue horses face. Elzaa is already broken and can be used for hacking, making her an excellent option for someone looking for a horse they can enjoy straight away. Like many former racehorses, she can occasionally be a little flighty, so she is looking for a knowledgeable home with someone experienced in riding and managing ex-racers. Despite this, Elzaa is a kind, easy-going mare who loves attention and enjoys being part of a routine. She deserves a home where she can continue to thrive and be appreciated for the lovely horse she is.

Levi
Sport Horse · 2-5 Years · Male · Large
Co. Longford, Ireland
A handsome Sports Horse with a gentle soul... Levi is a handsome Sports Horse with a gentle soul who is looking for a patient and understanding home. He can be quite nervous around new people and may take a little time to build trust, but once he gets to know you, he forms lovely bonds and enjoys human company. Levi is a sweet boy who thrives with calm, consistent handling. We suspect he may have an old injury affecting his hind end or hips, so any future ridden work would need to be approached carefully. While he may be suitable for breaking and light work, his comfort and welfare must always come first. Levi would suit an experienced home willing to take the time to earn his trust and help him continue to grow in confidence. In return, you’ll gain a loyal and rewarding companion.

Rockie
Mule · 1-2 Years · Male · Large
Co. Longford, Ireland
Gentle, sensitive and full of potential, Rockie is looking for a patient home where he can continue to learn to trust. Rockie is a young mule who came into our care after being abandoned at Ballinasloe Fair. He had a very difficult start, including injuries to his face caused by being tied with rope. Despite everything he has been through, Rockie has shown incredible resilience and a real willingness to connect. When he first arrived, Rockie was very nervous and unsure of people and his surroundings. He displayed fear based behaviours such as kicking, but with time, consistent handling and kind, patient care, he has made fantastic progress. He is now much better at communicating how he feels and will give clear warnings when he is uncomfortable. At heart, Rockie is a very affectionate boy who wants to trust. Once he feels safe, he forms strong bonds with his person and enjoys that connection. He will need a calm, experienced home that understands his past and is willing to give him the time, patience and reassurance he needs to continue building confidence. Rockie is still learning and developing, and will benefit from ongoing handling in a quiet and supportive environment. With the right approach, we believe he has huge potential to continue progressing and becoming a confident and trusting companion. He is also a lovely mover and, when he is older and ready, could potentially be broken and brought on for riding in the future. Rockie has been through more than most at such a young age, but he has so much love to give. With the right person by his side, he will truly come into his own and form a very special partnership,

Leroy
Pony · 3 years · Male
Co. Offaly, Ireland
This lovely pony is a 3-year-old gelding standing at approximately 123 cm, with a genuinely kind and laid-back temperament. Leroy arrived with us clipped and shod, which would suggest he has previously been broken to drive, although this cannot be guaranteed. He has settled well and continues to improve with a consistent routine. He is a friendly, easy-going pony who enjoys human company and takes new situations in his stride. Leroy is straightforward to handle and a pleasure to have around, showing a calm and uncomplicated attitude to daily care. Leroy does display a mild burping habit, (we don’t like to call it windsucking!) which is steadily improving as he settles, benefits from turnout, and leaves his previous life behind. This has already reduced noticeably with time and routine. Key details: 3-year-old gelding Approx. 123 cm Believed previously broken to drive Outstanding, kind temperament Very laid-back attitude Easy to handle and manage Improving steadily with routine and care Leroy would thrive in a calm, knowledgeable home where his quiet nature can continue to develop at a gentle pace.
