Merrylegs

Second Chance's Merrylegs

Biography

This handsome little fellow was one of 7 ponies heartlessly abandoned by their irresponsible owner. Brought to a retired couple’s property on agistment, the owner was under a contract to ensure she was responsible for their full care including feeding, water and handling. This person left them at the property, not ever coming to care for them and not even paying her agistment fees. Eventually the retired couple’s were given authorisation to rehome the ponies by the RSPCA and Shire Rangers after 12 months of them trying to contact the owner to take responsibility for the ponies. Unable to keep buying feed for them, the couple with the help of friends had placed 3 ponies in superb new homes and asked Second Chance to take the last four ponies on.

Prior to this, we know absolutely nothing about his past, nor the past of the older mare he was with. If anyone recognises him, please let us know - we would LOVE to know his story.

This cute little gelding came to us as a stallion and at the time of surrender was approximately 13 years old. He is very sweet and a little shy but not at all aggressive. He was exceptionally quiet for a reletively unhandled stallion and has never shown any inclination to bite or kick even when stressed. Once he had completed his training he has made a superb child’s lead-rein pony.
