Say hello to Dalton!
Dalton is a 12 year old, 14hh, piebald, cob, gelding who is ready to find his home as a non-ridden companion.
Dalton is a sweet natured boy who is looking for an experienced fosterer who will give him time to settle in to his new home and be able to spend time with his new companions.
Dalton would benefit from his new fosterer not expecting too much from him the first couple of weeks to allow him to get to know his new surroundings. He would like a friend with him at all times and would love as much turn out as possible with a home where stabling isn’t part of the routine.
Dalton has so much love to give and has the willing to create a strong bond with you to show you his affectionate side.
Dalton is a loveable boy who gains his confidence through his handler, he likes a consistent routine and once he has built a bond with you he will come when called in the field and loves getting fuss and attention.
He is always willing to try new things and wants to build a relationship with you as he has lots of love to give.
