Meet Moonshine

Moonshine - Palouse Gelding, 10hh, 8yrs

*Foster Carer Needed* - If you can offer Moonshine a foster (or permanent) home we'd love to hear from you.

Moonshine is an intelligent, inquisitive pony. He's a good doer and enjoys the company of other horses, especially as he was without companionship for a long time before coming to us. Moonshine has lead a lonely life and has had limited training, also judging by some of this reactions he was possibly abused at some stage. Despite this, he is calm once haltered and can be lead, brushed, lunged and has been attended to by the farrier and equine dentist.

He is a quick leaner and is full of personality.

Moonshine needs a home with experienced horse people who have access to an enclosed area or house yard to handle and work with him in, in addition to paddock grazing.
He needs an owner/handler who's patient, calm, experienced with young/fearful/mistreated horses, who's willing to take the time he needs to fully regain his trust in people.

Once educated, he'll make a fantastic lead or ridden pony, or he could be trained to harness. Also due to his colour he can be registered with the Australian Palouse Pony Association.

If you feel you can give Moonshine a great temporary; or permanent home, please contact us.
