King Louie (HO183-Horse)

Male · Senior · 24 years

Louie is a chestnut Dartmoor gelding, he was part of a multi-agency rescue and arrived at Hugs as a feral unhandled colt who was extremely malnourished and riddled with lice and worms. He has since flourished into a very playful little chap with a lot of love to give. Louie can be anxious with new people but is a good boy with his regular handlers, he catches, leads, grooms and picks up all his feet nicely. He regularly works with small obstacles and coloured poles in hand and although he can be worried to start with, he gains a lot of confidence from his handler. He is still young and would benefit from a confident home who is happy to continue his education. A home with another young gelding would be best suited to him or a home with a family, where he can keep busy and have some fun. Routine: Louie is currently out 24/7, he is happy to be stabled over night when needed but prefers to be out and moving. He has worn a rug through Winter. Friends: He is currently out with other young geldings, he has recently been gelded as he had a poor start and had to wait a little bit longer than his friends to be castrated. He has not yet been with mares and still has a few too many hormones to be in a field with them yet so needs a gelding only home currently. He’s playful in the field and enjoys a like-minded friend to crash around with, he will happily share hay with his friends. Feeding Requirements: Louie is not on any hard food currently, but does have free access to vitamins and minerals. He has access to adlib forage 24/7 in winter and grazing in the Summer. He has not had his diet restricted due to being a young equine but will need a home happy to manage his weight when he is fully grown. Medical/Vet: Louie is good for the vet and is up to date with vaccinations including Flu, Tetanus and Strangles. Farrier: Louie is good for the farrier, he is trimmed every 6-8 weeks as required. Dentist: Louie has had his teeth checked but has not yet had them rasped due to his age. Vices: N/A Based at: The Hugs Foundation, Bodmin Cornwall. We rehome within the Southwest region, rehomers will be required to travel to our yard and meet the equine and team.
