Pompey

Meet Pompey

Pompey's pregnant mother was one of 26 equines cruelly crammed into a lorry to be illegally exported out of the UK, probably destined for a slaughter house in Europe. As Pompey was born at Hall Farm in April 2024 he really is a blank canvas who has only known kindness and respect in his short life. As Pompey is still so young, we are looking for a home with experience in handling young horses where he can continue his education. At this stage there is no physical reason why he could not eventually become a ridden pony when he is older. As his sire is unknown Pompey's adult height could be in the region of 13hh although this is very much an estimate as his mother is only 12.2hh. At this expected height Pompey will have a maximum rider weight limit of 8 stone. We are equally happy for him to be rehomed as a non-ridden companion. If you can offer Pompey the loving home that he deserves please apply online.

Important stuff

This horse is based at Hall Farm, where we’ve been managing a strangles outbreak in some of our horses. They have been screened using guttural pouch lavage (the gold standard test), completed a full course of strangles vaccinations, and spent time in quarantine in a green zone paddock. They are now available for rehoming as part of our phased return to normal activities.

Pompey could be worked in the future.

History

Pompey was born at our Hall Farm centre after his mother came into our care already in foal.
