Meet Sprite

Sprite requires a compassionate and experienced handler that can provide a specific home. She is a unique little pony who enjoys a fuss, especially over the fence, but does need further help and training as she can be tricky to catch. She is also quite an expert at removing her head collar giving her a big advantage in a larger area. A small paddock attached to a yard where she can be quietly persuaded by gently herding her in would be ideal. Once caught Sprite is very good to handle, a little nervous, but very genuine. She is best suited to a quiet home with just one patient person who is prepared to spend the time regularly handling her and forming a bond. She is a charming and affectionate pony and with further guidance and training with being caught, she will become a loving and rewarding companion.

Important stuff

Sprite can never be ridden or driven.

All equines in our centres are regularly assessed by a team of experts including a vet, physiotherapist and farrier, and these assessments have found that Sprite is not suitable to be worked.

History

Sprite was a signed over RSPCA prosecution case.
