Badenscoth Fergal Finn

Meet Badenscoth Fergal Finn

Fergal is an adorable little Shetland with a big character. Fergal came into Belwade Farm with another Shetland pony called Wanda and we are looking for a home where they can stay together as they love each other to pieces. Fergal never leaves Wanda’s side and is quite protective of his wee pal. He is the more independent of the pair and requires a little bit of feed to catch on occasion; Fergal can come across a little shy to begin with but soon settles in and his larger than life character appears. Don’t let his size fool you as he needs an experienced handler at times, and he sometimes likes his own space. Fergal will require a home where he is handled regularly so that his training is regularly reinforced. He had very overgrown feet on arrival and has suffered from laminitis in the past so managing his condition and grazing is essential to keep him comfortable. Fergal will stand for the vet and farrier but is never very keen so will require patient handling. He is only suitable to live with other small ponies due to his grazing requirements, and larger ponies also make him quite worried. If you could offer Fergal and his best friend Wanda a new home, please apply online.
