Some of the wonderful animals in the care of the Irish Horse Welfare Trust, looking for their forever homes…

Spud, yearling, dark bay colt

October 2017 Spud is only a baby and would have been born earlier in 2017. Sadly this lovely little Cob was abandoned on land. No owner could be traced as he was not micro chipped. Spud has a lovely temperament and will make a lovely little Cob when he grows up. ...

Paddy, yearling piebald colt

December 2016 IHWT Paddy. We got a call from member of the public about a young horse straying in a housing estate in the Wicklow area. Paddy is in good condition and has the most wonderful temperament, so we are sure it won’t take long before he finds his own forever home.

Linkin

August 2016 Linkin was a 2016 Piebald colt. He came into the IHWT on welfare grounds Sadly Linkin was put to sleep due to a old fracture in his neck that was causing him immense pain and suffering. He came into our equine centre with Reanie & Wilma.

Keano
