We are looking for retirement homes for Oscar and his horsey friends and we are neigh kidding.<\/h2>\n

We have been caring for these oldies at our Aberdeenshire Animal Rescue and Rehoming Centre for a combined 345 days but they have had very little interest.<\/p>\n

Assistant manager Laura Hopkins said: \u201cOur \u2018mane\u2019 man Oscar is looking for a quiet retirement home that can offer him lots of love. He is an easy-going boy who is not phased by much, he can be a grumpy old man at times but is easily persuaded with treats to be your friend again. <\/p>\n

\u201cHe is easy to catch in the field and will lead with ease. He enjoys a groom and a scratch from his favourite people. He is very good for both the farrier and vet.<\/p>\n

\u201cOscar lives out 24\/7 currently with appropriate rugs and shelter with both mares and geldings who he gets along with equally well. <\/p>\n

\u201cDue to his old age he suffers with some joint pain and therefore would require to be on a small amount of pain relief while in his new home.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you prefer \u2018mare\u2019 of a pampered horse then Spirit is the one for you. She is a very easy horse to work with, is good to catch, lead and tie up. She loves a groom and she is very patient with the farrier and vet. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe also have Storm who is nervous and needs a patient owner, head-strong Brie and well-mannered Autumn.<\/p>\n

If you or someone you know can offer these lovely horses their forever home then please apply via our website:<\/p>\n
