Smudge

Second Chance's Smudge

Biography

This adorable little guy 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.

At the moment this gelding is mostly untouched however has established basic ground work and handling. Bringing him home is was a challenge as he followed his sister's lead in trying to escape us. But with the hard work of our dedicated volunteers they were secured safely and taken for foster care and training.

Nothing is cuter than a foal and this little gelding sure proves that!

Smudge was very cautious however learned quickly to accept humans as food providers and he loves to be with people and enjoys the attention lavished on him. He has proven to have an exceptional temperment and is a very sweet natured, willing soul.
