Say hello to Rosie!
Rosie is a 16.2hh, 18 year old, chestnut, Thoroughbred X ready to find a home as a non-ridden horse.
Rosie is an exceptionally sweet mare, with all the love in the world to give. She is always the first at the gate in the morning, with her ears pricked and her wide eyes, she makes the dull mornings a lot brighter. Even on the most grey, miserable mornings, she never fails to make you smile. With her natural curiosity and eagerness to be involved, she is always interested in what you are doing, she will supervise your poo picking, ensuring you take regular breaks for scratches and cuddles (the most important part of field management according to Rosie). Rosie had found her Perfect Partner, and returned to Bransby Horses through no fault of her own. She is now ready to find a loving home where she can be the apple of someone’s eye once again.
Rosie’s Perfect Partner would be someone with the time to give her the love and attention she craves. Someone who will happily stand with her giving her scratches on her shoulders and withers, as well as regular grooming and bonding sessions. Rosie loves her equine companions, she forms extremely close bonds with her field friends, and would suit companions who form similar connections and don’t mind a mare who wants to be attached at the hip.
Rosie currently lives out 24/7 with access to shelter. Equally, she will happily stable with friends in sight.
Rugs: Rosie may require rugging in the Winter if she becomes cold. Whilst she has been with us, she has not needed a rug.
Rosie creates extremely close bonds with her companions. She can become clingy, so would prefer to live with an equine who is happy with this. Rosie has lived with mares and geldings, but does prefer mares. She can become stressed and worried if she cannot see her companions, so would prefer not to be left alone.
Forage/Feed: Rosie does not currently receive a hard feed. She is supplemented with low calorie hay when grazing becomes too sparse
Medication: N/A
Farrier: Rosie is barefoot and trimmed on a 6 week cycle, she is a good girl for the farrier.
Dentist: Sedated as standard Bransby Horses procedure.
Rosie is good to handle in most situations. At times, she can let her excitement get the better of her and become strong when leading, especially in new situations. She is never nasty with this and with a confident handler, this is rarely an issue.
Vet: Rosie has had a history of lameness. She had her hocks medicated last year which has significantly improved her lameness issues. This will need closely monitoring and she will potentially need re-medicated in the future if necessary. Our team of vets have signed her off as comfortable and able to be rehomed as a companion. Rosie does suffer from mud fever through the Winter months so will need a perfect partner able to manage this appropriately to keep her happy and healthy.
Medication: Rosie is not currently receiving any medication, but will occasionally need pain relief if her lameness flares up.
