Say hello to Archimedes!
Archimedes is a 4-year-old, 14hh, black, Cob x, gelding who is ready to find his home as a non-ridden companion.

Archimedes is an inquisitive pony and is looking for his perfect partner to be confident and experienced with handling younger horses. Archimedes would benefit from a consistent routine with some in-hand walks, as he loves to explore new things!

Archimedes is a playful young man and adores interacting with you and getting involved in whatever you may be doing!

He takes everything in his stride and has a playful and cheeky personality.

Stabling/Shelter: Archimedes lives out 24/7 with access to a shelter. He will happily stable with friends in sight when needed. Archimedes becomes unsettled if left alone in the field, so he would like to live with a friend at all times.

Companionship: He currently lives in a herd of geldings on a track system and is playful with the other equines. He would benefit from having a playful companion as well as a slightly older, more dominant companion to help him mature.

Forage/Feed: Archimedes currently lives out on a track grazing system and is supplemented with a hay/straw mix if grazing becomes too sparse.
He can become dominant around feed buckets but will happily share a pile of forage in the field with his friends.

Medication: N/A

Farrier: Barefoot and trimmed 6 weekly, he would benefit from a calm and patient farrier, as he has weak stifles, so he becomes unbalanced at times and prefers to have his feet trimmed with his legs held lower.

Dentist: Sedated as standard Bransby Horses procedure.

Vices: Can be dominant around food.

Vet: He has had instances of locking stifle, which would need to be monitored by a vet every 6months/annual reviews. He would benefit from in-hand walks or being on a track system to help with this. He is prone to mallenders.
