Meet Charlie

Charlie was rescued by HorseWorld in 2019 along with 3 other boys of similar ages to him. The group were extremely malnourished and underweight. Thankfully, due to Charlie's friendly and inquisitive nature, the team were able to work with him quickly to help with his recovery and rehabilitation. Charlie is a very lovely boy that loves attention, he’s always the first to greet you at the gate! Charlie was rehomed but unfortunately had to return to us at the end of 2021.

Since his arrival, Charlie has shown signs of Ataxia (meaning a lack of coordination or control during movements, such as walking). He has had a full vetting and his ataxia has been graded at a level 2 (out of a possible 6), which is considered mild. It also means that he is slightly slower at processing things, such as aids to speed up or slow down, and is therefore unable to be ridden or brought into work. Charlie will require a patient handler, but does need reminding of his boundaries at times as he is still quite young.

Charlie has sweet-itch so is kept in a fly-rug in the summer and kept in an electrified paddock to prevent him rubbing.

Charlie is a sweet boy and we would love to find him a loving home.
