WELCOME 

The Irish Horse Rehoming Programme was set up in 2014 to offer a lifeline to impounded horses and ponies on death row.  After several years and many hundreds of saved equines, IHRP achieved charitable status in 2020! Our focus is always rescue and rehabilitation, but IHRP now facilitates the rehoming of healthy equines from a variety of situations including owner/ surrender when space allows. IHRP puts strong emphasis on health, soundness and temperament when we offer a horse or pony for rehoming, and we pride ourselves on making excellent matches!

Some of our new equines available for Rehoming

IHRP Leroy

This lovely pony is a 3-year-old gelding standing at approximately 123 cm, with a genuinely kind and laid-back temperament. Leroy arrived with us clipped and shod, which would suggest he has previously been broken to drive, although this cannot be guaranteed. He has settled well and continues to improve with a consistent routine.

He is a friendly, easy-going pony who enjoys human company and takes new situations in his stride. Leroy is straightforward to handle and a pleasure to have around, showing a calm and uncomplicated attitude to daily care.

Leroy does display a mild burping habit, we don’t like to call it windsucking! which is steadily improving as he settles, benefits from turnout, and leaves his previous life behind. This has already reduced noticeably with time and routine.

Key details

• 3-year-old gelding

• Approx. 123 cm

• Believed previously broken to drive

• Outstanding, kind temperament

• Very laid-back attitude

• Easy to handle and manage

• Improving steadily with routine and care

 Leroy would thrive in a calm, knowledgeable home where his quiet nature can continue to develop at a gentle pace.
