The Retreat
HORSE RESCUE
Horse Re-homing Scheme
For
those who have suitable premises and experience 'The Retreat Horse Rescue'
can arrange the loan of a horse or pony on a re-homing basis. Having a horse
or pony on loan from 'The Retreat Horse Rescue' is however, not something
that is given, or to be undertaken, lightly.
'The Retreat Horse Rescue', for their part, thoroughly inspects the proposed receiving premises and there is a legally binding agreement to be signed between the prospective 'borrower' and 'The Retreat Horse Rescue' covering all aspects of how and where the loaned animal will be cared for.

Pony Care
Ponies, like horses, eat grains and hay and grass, and especially enjoy a carrot or a sugar cube for a treat when they’ve been very good! Ponies need plenty of fresh water and a clean, dry place to sleep at night, and protection from the weather. Some ponies prefer standing outside rather than being in a stall or a shed, but it’s important that shelter be available for them if they need to get out of the cold wind in the winter or the hot sun in the summer.
HEALTH CARE:
Ponies, like all horses, need regular health care. They need certain vaccinations every year to protect them against diseases like Eastern Equine Encephalomyelitis (you can call it "EEE"), rabies, and respiratory diseases. They also need to be given medicine about every 8 weeks to control internal parasites, such as worms. There are even dentists and chiropractors for horses and ponies. Hoof care is very important. A farrier should clip and shape a pony’s hooves every 8 to 12 weeks, depending on how much it is ridden and how quickly its hooves grow. Cleaning a pony’s hooves to get rid of mud, manure, and any stones or sharp objects should be a regular part of daily grooming.
