Meet Budgie
Budgie is ready to rehome as a youngster for handling or as a companion. Budgie is a friendly and inquisitive chap, who has come a long way since arriving with us late last year. He was completely unhandled on arrival and his groom has worked hard to gain his trust and build up his confidence. He is now good to handle and groom when he is in a consistent routine but does need continued education to keep his trust and confidence growing. He has a busy brain, and doesn't tend to like to stay still for too long, although this keeps improving the more handling he gets. His ideal home would be with an experienced rehomer who has an interest in doing in-hand or agility work as we think Budgie would benefit from continued ground work. Budgie was gelded late, so can only be turned out with geldings, but he does get on well with others, and can be quite playful in the field. He is good for the vet and farrier with a quiet, calm approach and treats always help. Budgie needs his weight watching, so a home with equines of similar needs would be ideal. Budgie doesn't like being left on his own, so will need the company of another equine at all times. If you can offer Budgie a home, please apply online.
Important stuff
Budgie 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 Budgie is not suitable to be worked.
History
Budgie came into Penny Farm within a large group. He was completely unhandled and entire.
