Tally is a 20 year old fabulous Suffolk Punch gelding. He’s the most loving animal I’ve ever known and will do anything for food! He loves attention and will stand still all day to be pampered (as long as he has a haynet of course!).
I’ve had Tally for many years and he’s one of my best friends. I’ve now got a newborn baby and I can’t give him the attention he deserves anymore. He’s also a tad too big for me at the moment, especially if I decide to have another baby.
Tally spent most of his life as a tourist driving horse in Spain, where he ended up having an allergic reaction to a type of fly. He now gets what presents like sweet itch and this year has rubbed his mane and tail out. He really needs a home where someone can tend to his needs more often than I can and help him grow that gorgeous mane back!
Tally has no vices aside from being large and a bit pushy with food. He lives happily with mares and geldings and is great with the farrier. He is bare foot and really is low maintenance.
Tally would suit a home that can give him lots of fuss. He’d make a good companion.
Tally can be ridden for slow hacks, but he is arthritic and broke his foot a few years ago (which is healed now but he can’t go for fast hacks….not that he’s ever been fast). My husband learnt to ride on him. He’s fabulous in every way!
I can’t stress how amazing this horse is and I want him to find someone who can fuss over him the way he deserves. I’m happy for him to stay at current yard if the person is near Dorchester as long as they saw to him everyday.
