Meet Captain Tom

Captain Tom was born at Hall Farm and is a blank canvas. As he was well handled from the start he is generally a polite pony and easy to care for. He would quite like to be the leader in the herd but he will back down if challenged by a more confident character. He is a playful boy and likes to have a friend who will indulge him. Captain Tom is an affectionate chap who enjoys a fuss and he quickly forms a bond with his handler. He is not suitable to ride, but he is a delight to have around and will blossom in any yard with a regular routine.

Important stuff

Captain Tom 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 Captain Tom is not suitable to be worked.

History

Captain Tom was born at Hall Farm in April 2020 after his mother was signed over as part of a large multi horse welfare case. He was recently returned from loan following a change in circumstances.
