Everyone, meet Carter! 🤍

Carter is a true unicorn who captures the hearts of everyone fortunate enough to meet him. He is exceptionally kind, affectionate and has impeccable manners. He’s the sort of horse who will happily let you cuddle him while he’s lying down in his stable, and genuinely seems to enjoy human company more than anything else.

He is six years old, standing approximately 16.3 17hh, and is a French TB AQPS (Autre Que Pur Sang). Despite his age and size, he has a remarkably wise head on young shoulders and the most wonderful, gentle temperament. He is infallible out hacking and really really looks after his rider. He loads and travellers impeccably well too!

I purchased Carter around 18 months ago with the intention of him becoming my general all rounder. Unfortunately, following various veterinary investigations and health concerns, our future together hasn’t quite worked out as I’d hoped.

I am therefore looking for a very special long term loan home where riding is not the priority. There may be the possibility of gentle hacking in the future, subject to veterinary advice, but this absolutely must not be an expectation. Ideally, I would love to find somebody mature and experienced who simply enjoys spending time with horses. Perhaps someone interested in groundwork, liberty training, in hand walks or simply having a beautiful horse to fuss over and enjoy.

Carter has so much to offer beyond being ridden, and I truly believe he would make somebody an incredibly rewarding companion.

His ideal home would offer plenty of turnout, equine companionship, a comfortable stable when required and, most importantly, somebody who understands his needs and will put his welfare first.

Full veterinary history will be disclosed to any genuinely interested parties. I would actively encourage potential loan homes to come and meet Carter, spend time getting to know him and ask as many questions as they wish before making any commitment.

This is an incredibly difficult decision, as Carter is very much my horse of a lifetime. However, I want him to have the opportunity to enjoy a fulfilling life with somebody who loves him for the wonderful horse he is, rather than what he can do under saddle.

Long term loan only. Not for sale.

The right home is far more important than finding one quickly.

Please message me with some information about yourself and the home you could offer.
