A mare and foal in danger...
In 2015, HorseWorld was contacted by the RSPCA to rescue a mare and her foal in urgent need. The mother was very frail and had been tethered to the ground with a chain around her neck. From her condition, we believe she gave birth just a few days earlier under these distressing circumstances.
To make matters worse, there was a loose stallion also living in the field, which posed a massive threat to both the mare and her new-born foal.
A bright future ahead...
Once safely back at HorseWorld, the mare was named Catena, and her foal Salisbury. Both Catena and Salisbury received gentle, patient rehabilitation to help them recover from their ordeal.
As Salisbury grew and matured, his true nature began to shine. He quickly revealed not only his kind and loving personality but also his natural ability and confidence, showing early signs of his incredible potential.
Loving life on the farm...
Salisbury went on to be trained as a ridden pony and absolutely loves going for hacks around the farm. His confident and outgoing nature also makes him an excellent nanny horse, helping support other young horses in training and guiding them through new experiences.
Catena, his mother, has since been rehomed as a ridden horse, beginning a safe and happy new chapter in her life.
Salisbury the sponsorship star...
Today, Salisbury is a happy, healthy, and confident pony, thriving in the HorseWorld herd. He is one of our much-loved sponsor horses, and he delights in meeting his fans at our sponsorship days. He can be a bit cheeky at times but that's all part of his charm!
