Dusty (27)

Meet Dusty (27)

Dusty is a bonny wee mare who is ready to find a new home as a companion. Dusty came into Belwade farm in 2023 with one other pony as a welfare concern. She was a driving pony when she was younger but is now enjoying her retirement and very much loving life as a pampered companion. Dusty is a lovely straight forward pony who is well mannered and sensible for all of her handling. She catches and leads in very politely, always being slow and steady. Dusty enjoys nothing more than coming in to be fussed over by her groom and is usually in for a while as she has an impressive mane and tail to brush through! She does get quite attached to her friends and can become stressed if left alone in the field. Dusty can at times be quite bossy with her field mates so may clash with other very dominant horses. Due to her type, she will need her weight monitored and grazing restricted when needed. If you think that Dusty sounds like the right pony to join your ponies, we would love to hear from you.
