Chester



Barn Name: Chester

Breed: Pony
Height: 13hh
Age: Unknown (Put through the auction as a 4 yr old but we feel he is much older, we are going to compare his teeth to our chart)
Gender: Gelding
Colour: Chestnut

Health: Excellent
Lameness: Sound, There is a Small Little Lump on the Front of His Right Leg But It Doesn't Appear to Bother him in Anyway

Vices: None
Personality: Easy to Catch (with treats), Lead, Groom, Tie, etc. Pushy and not good with his feet, so obviously not suitable for a beginner handler/rider. Good with other horses, ponies & donkeys.

History/Training: Unknown, Purchased From an Auction, Halter Broke, Started Under Saddle.

Future/Suitability: With Training He Should be Suitable for Pretty Much Anything ... Riding or Driving, English or Western, Show or Pleasure. He needs to be started over from scratch with ground work and saddle work, some parelli natural horsemanship in a round pen would do wonders for him.

** Adoption Fee/Purchase Price: $300 - This Week Only **

Chester's Regular Price is $800 obo. To take advantage of this $300 sale price you must have your application approved, pay for Chester in full and have him picked up (or delivered at your expense) on or before Nov 15, 2009. We have at least $1500+ invested into Chester with his purchase price, trailering, hay, deworming, farrier, etc. We will never recoup what we have into Chester so we understand we will be taking a huge loss, and we are used to that, but we do need to get something for him, as we cannot help more horses, ponies and donkeys until we find good homes for the ones that are here. The adoption fees are very important in keeping HCW running. Chester needs and deserves a good permanent loving home. He has been patiently waiting since Nov '08. All offers/trades will be considered, but not necessarily accepted.


Current Status: Located at a Temporary Foster Home in Brighton, ON - Available for Adoption/Sale or Fostering/Free Lease (Until Adopted). If you have any questions about Chester and/or would like to make arrangements to see him, please email Claire at HCWEquineRescue@sympatico.ca

SPONSORS NEEDED!!!: If you would like to help Chester, but are not able to Adopt or Foster him at this time perhaps you would be interested in Sponsoring him by helping to cover the costs of (or a portion of) his daily care - such as his Hay, Vet, Vaccinations, Farrier, Tapeworm Dewormer, Ivermectin Dewormer, Blue Salt Block, Treats, Cob Size Halter, Fall Turnout Sheet, Winter Turnout Blanket, Brushes, Lead Rope, etc. If you would like to help in any way, please email Claire at HCW for details. HCWEquineRescue@sympatico.ca Thanks!!

Please Note: Trailering is Available for Chester. The Cost is Your Responsibility But We Can Make All The Arrangements for You From This End. If You Would Like a Trailering Quote Please Call Josh at 905-242-7229 or Email at: horsepowertransport@hotmail.com Please Supply Him With Your City/Town Name and Postal Code, So That He Can Give You An Accurate Quote.
