rehoming horses

The Horses' Prayer.

Feed me, give me water and care for me and when the day's work is done, give me shelter, a clean bed and a wide stall.

Talk to me, your voice often substitutes the reins for me.

Be good to me and I will serve you cheerfully and love you.

Don't jerk the reins and don't raise the whip.

Don't beat or kick me when I don't understand you, but rather give me time to understand you.

Don't consider it disobedience if I don't follow your commands.

Perhaps there is a problem with my saddle and bridle or hooves.

Check my teeth if I don't eat, maybe I have a toothache.
You know how that hurts.

Don't halter me too short and don't dock my tail... it's my only weapon against flies and mosquitoes.

And at the end, dear master, when I am no longer any use to you, don't let me go hungry or freeze and don't sell me.

Don't give me a master who slowly tortures me to death and lets me starve, but rather be merciful and take care of me, by letting me run and enjoy a warm pasture.

Let me request this of you and please don't regard it as disrespectful if I ask it in the name of Him who was born in a stable like me.

AMEN

Homing Requirements for our Equines

All our Horses and Ponies come into us as a result of Cruelty Checks that we do, there are only a few that come in to us direct through good owners that need to get the animal relocated due to different reasons.

We have no homing fees for these animals but it would be nice if you were to give a donation to the Rescue as Equines are fairly expensive to bring back to health.

We very rarely have any suitable for riding and most only go into Long term Foster homes to keep company with another Equine.

We will not accept wire fencing of any kind other than electric but have no problem with Electric fencing, post & rail and natural hedging.

We will not allow any breeding and Cottage Rescue will always have Ownership of the animal and YOU will only ever have the animal on a loan basis "Long Term Fostering"

If you are interested in one of our Horses, Please ring Hannah: 087 970 1919

Cottage Rescue is also a private home, and so we operate on an appointment only basis.

We do not have opening hours and any visit must be arranged with us first.

We do welcome you to come and meet the animal you are interested in and will arrange a time for this when you call us.

Thank you so much for looking at the animals we have available!

If you are interested in one of the animals you see here please look over our

Adoption Contract & Rehoming Fee and also Our Requirements for Homing

and then call Hannah: 087 970 1919 to arrange a home visit.
