Blue Cross animal rehoming centre in Rolleston is calling out to find homes for two horses who have been homeless for almost a year and a half.

Patsy is a six-year-old cob looking for a home as a non-ridden companion. She came to Blue Cross in October 2018 through the RSPCA after she was rescued along with a number of other horses. She was healthy but hadn’t had much human handling so the Blue Cross had to slowly gain her trust. She is a sweet and gentle mare who will make a great companion to a ridden horse and can live out all the time with access to a shelter.

Soon to reach the landmark 500 days, 13-year-old Nile was returned to Blue Cross in Rolleston after having spells on loan. He originally came to Blue Cross in 2015 after being handed over from a private stud. He came with a group of four other Arab types in fair condition but very nervous to handle. He also needs a home as a companion because he will not wear a saddle. He is a sensitive soul looking for an understanding home where he will be reassured when facing new situations. He needs round-the-clock company and once settled he will be a best friend to other horses and his humans.
