Adopter Sergeant
Mand · Ældre · 18 år
Sergeant er en 18hh sort irsk sporthest født i 2008. Han blev købt og bragt fra Irland af Forsvarsministeriet i 2016 og taget til at bo på Sandhurst, da de planlagde at træne ham til at blive medlem af Husetkavaleriet. Efter deres første forsøg på det, besluttede de hurtigt, at han ikke var egnet til jobbet. Den almindelige procedure i sådanne tilfælde ville være at sælge hesten til et medlem af offentligheden, men de havde nået et punkt, hvor de ikke engang kunne sætte en halsbånd på Sergeant, og han var klassificeret som farlig og uetrænbar, så de var villige til at sælge ham af frygt for, at han kunne skade nogen alvorligt, og han skulle blive nedtrukket ved 8 år. Heldigvis hørte konen til en kavalerisoldat om hans lidelser, fandt Shy Lowen og overbeviste MoD om at give ham en chance for en anden fremtid. Han kom til sanctuary i sommeren 2016 med en mappe fyldt med fraskrivelseserklæringer, hvori det stod, at han ikke var sikker at håndtere eller ride, og de ville ikke tage ansvar for eventuelle skader, han måtte forårsage. Flot Sergeant tilpassede sig hurtigt og viste sig at være en stor baby, der blot havde brug for meget kærlighed og tryghed. Han er en flink, venlig dreng, men ikke den mest intelligente, så han har brug for meget tid til at forarbejde noget nyt! Han er meget nem at håndtere, laste og med dyrlægen og hestekæmper. Inden for sommeren havde han båret sin første rider meget roligt, og han har været på vej fremad, men langsomt siden da. Sergeant er tilgængelig til ophavspligt i et erfaret og forstående hjem, hvor han kan fortsætte sin uddannelse.

Sergeant is an 18hh black Irish Sport Horse born in 2008. He was bought and brought over from Ireland by the Ministry of Defence in 2016 and taken to live at Sandhurst, as they planned to train him to join the Household Cavalry. After their first attempts to do so, they quickly decided that he was unsuitable for the job. The usual process in those circumstances would be to sell the horse on to a member of the public, but they had reached a point where they were unable to even put a head collar on Sergeant, and he had been classed as dangerous and untrainable, so they were unwilling to sell him for fear of him seriously hurting someone, and he was to be put to sleep at 8 years of age. Thankfully, the wife of a cavalry soldier heard of his plight, found Shy Lowen and persuaded the MoD to give him a chance at a different future. He came to the sanctuary in summer 2016 with a file full of disclaimers to say he was not safe to handle or ride, and they would accept no liability for any injuries he may cause. Handsome Sergeant settled in very quickly and proved to be a giant baby who simply needed a lot of love and reassurance. He is a lovely, gentle boy, but not the brightest, so needs plenty of time to process anything new! He is very good to handle, load and with the vet and farrier. By the end of the summer he had carried his first rider very calmly, and has been progressing well, but slowly ever since. Sergeant is available for rehoming on loan to an experienced and understanding home where he can continue his education.
