Meet Lickity Split

Lickity Split is a handsome thoroughbred x bay gelding standing at 15.1hh. He initially arrived at HorseWorld in 2008 as a foal at foot with his mum; they were part of a larger group of horses that had been seized after being illegally fly grazed. After a few years of growing up Lickity went on to be rehomed as a ridden horse, joined our Discovery programme for a time, and then went on loan as a non-ridden companion. Lickity is now looking for a forever home where he can live out the rest of his retirement.

Lickity can be prone to weight gain and has previously suffered with laminitis, so is looking for a home that can help him stay within a healthy weight range and manage his grazing accordingly. At HorseWorld he lives out 24/7 on poor grazing with the herd. He has recently been diagnosed with Cushing’s so has ½ prascend tablet daily, which he is happy to take with a carrot. His rehomer would need to continue his daily medication.

Lickity is a very lovely boy that is great to handle. He gets on well with other horses although does like to be boss; he can live with both mares and geldings (although he has mainly lived with geldings over the past few years in our care and on his loan homes). Lickity is happiest spending most of his time in the field with his friends, although will stable overnight etc as part of a routine if needed. He isn't keen on being left alone, so is looking for a home where he will always have equine company. He has a lot of love to give and we think he will make a fantastic companion for the right person. Please get in touch if you think this person could be you!
