Say hello to Busby!
Busby is a 13hh, 15 year old, piebald cob x gelding, who is ready to find a home as a non-ridden companion.
Busby is a loving boy with lots to offer in a one to one home, he is looking for his perfect partner who would like to give him a routine with handling daily including in hand walks and grooming.
Busby is a good boy to groom all over, his only dislike is his mane and would require a patient and understanding fosterer. Busby would like his new fosterer to take their time with his back feet as he is unsure and nervous of these being touched however he is better when in a yard environment when picking out his back feet.
Busby is the most special boy and he can be so loving and will thrive in a one to one home, he will let his personality shine through once he has built a bond and got to know you.
A good daily routine is what Busby prefers and would like in order to settle into his new and loving home.
