Welcome to Hoofbeats

  Urgent Appeal  

Sadly our vet has recommended that Muldoon is put to sleep as he is so Stressed with having mares nearby and we do have the facilities or staff to offer him the life he deserves . Please contact us urgently if you can offer this pony a loving and fulfilling home. 

Muldoon is now available for loan to an experienced adult rider, His one and only fault is he has to be treated like a stallion, he is 100% in traffic, with the Farrier and to box and apart from the Ladies he does not have any vices!!! But because of this he has to be kept away from all other horses especially mares, he is a lovely pony who loves cuddles and affection and has loads of charm.
The perfect person for Muldoon would be someone, who has land with no mares nearby and a confident rider willing to spend loads of time with him and to to keep him behaving himself.
We are not asking for a donation for Muldoon (although it would be appreciated) We just want to find the right home for him, that he can lead a happy and useful life.

Arrived: January 06:
Muldoon has come in because he was bought for a little 8 year old to ride and soon after they found he was in fact he was still Entire, They had him gelded in August 2006 but felt he was to much for her to handle, and to dangerous to be with children. Around mares he gets excited, and can be aggressive to other geldings, but we have never had any aggression to humans.
Update: October 2006.
Muldoon has now found a lovely home with a young jockey, who wants a happy hacker and maybe a few shows. he is kept with geldings and is calm and happy.
Update: June 2007.
Muldoon is getting very excited with the mares in season around him at shows. After a visit with the vet it is recommended that Liz puts him on regumate to help his hormones.
Update: August 2007.
Lou is now jumping and showing at local events and doing really well with him.
Update: August 2008.
Lou regularly competes and has won a number of local show jumping events. Muldoon is given regumate only in the spring when the mares are in season.
Update : April 2009
Sadly Lou has now well and truly outgrown Muldoon and so we are now looking for a special home for this lovely pony. Update: May 2009: Muldoon has gone out again as a Childs ridding pony and we wish them every happiness.
Update July 2010: Sadly Muldoon has come back to us as he has become to much for his young rider.
