Back

Thirty one year old MAVERICK, an ex-racehorse, had a four year history of misbehaving, apparently he would throw riders without warning. His reputation almost brought about his destruction, but he was temporarily accommodated at an animal rescue before being found a new home. Eight months later he had been up to his old tricks and was back! A horse specialist felt that Maverick had probably sustained a broken pelvis while racing at some point, and had not been allowed long enough to  recover, so anyone riding him would cause him pain !


Eight year old CHARLIE was eighteen months old when he was found impaled on a fence ! The Fire Brigade was called; the opinion was that he should be destroyed. However, he was rescued and now, at eight years old, apart from being a little timid of men and strangers, and wary if anyone walks round his rear end (wouldn't you be?), he is fighting fit.



Maverick now spends all day grazing, he is a very gentle horse and loves being talked to. His stunning grey mane and tail make him stand out. He requires a special diet with supplements and  eats as much hay as he can !
