Re-homing
Can you give an IHWT horse or pony a forever home?
How to re-home an Irish Horse Welfare Trust rescue
Our primary objective here at the Irish Horse Welfare Trust is to re-home the horses and ponies that pass through our gate into suitable, caring and loving homes. These equines in many cases have been fully rehabilitated.
We encourage all horse lovers to consider the option of re-homing a horse or pony from our facility. It is always a hugely rewarding experience. More than ever we need long term homes for our horses and ponies. If you are in a position to give a loving home to one of our rescues, do get in touch by filling out our Re-homing Application Form.
We look forward to hearing from you.

STEP 2
Send in your Re-homing Application Form by post to IHWT, Equine Centre, Ballinamona, Woodenbridge, Co Wicklow or email to equinerehoming@gmail.com
Once we get your form we will be in touch if we have something that is suitable to arrange a home visit.
If you are looking for a horse or pony at the IHWT we classify our horses in the following sections to allow people to know what the capabilities and limitations of each horse are.
- Ponies – an assortment of ponies are available both companion & riding.
- Companion horses- horses due to injuries or abuse who are not suitable for riding
- Flatwork – due to some injuries these horses are only suitable for light hacking and flatwork and cannot be hunted, or show jumped or evented due to predisposed injuries
- Youngstock – foals/yearlings/youngstock that are unbroken
- Competition Horses – not a novice ride, experience essential, these horses can be used for eventing and other disciplines
- Hacking only
