Pearl and Gem
Since being at the rescue we’ve been using positive reinforcement to help her learn how to pick up her hooves as she can get quite anxious about it. Whoever adopts her will need to be willing to continue helping her learn and build confidence.
About Gem:
Unlike her mum Gem is a very bold and inquisitive pony, she usually lets you know she’s there by nibbling your wellies and demanding scratches! However, although she is confident in the field she can be more anxious while being lead in hand outside the field and having things asked of her. She needs someone who is willing to keep helping her learn and build her confidence. Like her mum she worries about having her hooves picked up / trimmed and can sometimes nip when you try with any ‘force’ so we’re currently helping her learn with positive reinforcement that hoof care can actually be a ‘good’ experience.
We would like these girls to find a home together with someone who has lots of patience and kindness to share with them. They would make ideal companions for another horse, especially a ridden horse who regularly leaves the feild etc but they would also be great ‘projects’ for someone who just loves ponies and wants to have fun on the ground with them!
