Shooting Star (Cherry)

Meet Shooting Star (Cherry)

Handsome gelding Cherry is now ready to rehome as a non ridden companion due to having a heart murmur. He is a lovely, friendly horse, who likes attention. He came into us with limited handling after having been shut in a stable for quite some time. He has come on immensely in his time with us, and on the whole is a very good boy to catch, handle and groom. Cherry can, however, sometimes forget how big he is so will need a confident handler who is used to bigger horses. His ideal set up would be a private yard with a few other horses where he wouldn't be left alone. He will come into a stable overnight or through the day but this needs to be as part of a routine. He has been turned out with mares and geldings although he does get on better with geldings. He will require his grazing restricted in the summer months. He isn't keen on baths but he is getting better every time and is quite happy to have his legs washed now. He is good for the vet and farrier, but he may require some treats for the first few times in a new home. He has a few sarcoids which haven't changed since arriving with us and cause him no problems. If you can offer Cherry a home, please apply online.
