Giving a horse a home

Blue Cross rehomes horses on a monitored loan, which means we check in to see how they’re doing from time to time so we can make sure that they – and you – are happy.

If you and your family have decided you’d like to give a home to a horse or pony from Blue Cross, please have a look to see horses currently available for loan.

The next step is to fill in either a companion horse homefinder or ridden horse homefinder form and return it to us. We’ll contact you when we think we’ve found a good match. If you don’t hear from us please don’t worry, it just means we’re still trying to find the right horse for you.

Once we’ve found a possible match, we’ll invite you to the centre to meet them and find out more. We’ll then organise a home visit so we can see where the horse is going to live.

Benefits of the Blue Cross monitored loan scheme:

• The horse will be individually matched to you
• You can ‘try before you buy’
• We’ll give you an honest history of the horse
• Each horse has had a comprehensive health and training assessment
• We offer help and support if you have any issues with your horse
• If your circumstances change, you can return the horse to us
• It’s value for money
• You’re supporting a charity and enabling us to help more horses in need
• If you rehome a non-ridden horse from us, you’ll be given ongoing support through a tailor made financial package agreed between you and our horse team.
