About Freya & Timmy
Freya and Timmy came from different walks of life but found friendship and safety in each other. You'll never find one without the other and we decided theirs was a friendship that could not be split up.
Freya is an ex polo pony and a very spooky, suspicious girl. Earning her trust will not happen quickly but you will reap the rewards when she realises you're a friend. Once caught, she is a perfectly behaved angel despite her insecurites and has never done a bad thing in her time with us. She has the sweetest disposition and she deserves a home with more one on one attention.
Timmy is a standardbred throwaway from the harness racing industry. In his day, he held a lot of monetary value to his humans and he raced his heart out for them, winning many times. Unfortunately this did not earn him the safety of a forever home when he eventually broke down with a tendon injury and he was quickly forgotten about. Timmy has a resting grumpy face but not an ounce of malice in him. He is easy to handle in every sense and loves coming in from the paddock with Freya for a brush and a special snack.
Both Freya & Timmy come up to date with vaccinations, farrier, dentist etc. They are both barefoot with no trouble and are good doers, never hard fed although grass hay has always been available when pasture is poor.
Neither horse are suitable for riding but they are very suitable for loving!! Transport for this amazing pair can be arranged statewide.
Medical notes
No known pre-existing conditions.
Adoption details
Regardless of the breed of animal you are looking to adopt, our adoption process is the same.
The first step of the process involves submitting an adoption application form. The form helps us understand a little bit more about you and your household and is used to figure out whether animal is the right fit for your household and what you are looking for, and also if your household is the right fit for the animal.
After a review process, shortlisted applicants will be contacted by one of our volunteer adoption coordinators usually by phone call or message. This is an informal conversation to discuss any questions we may have about the application and re-confirm any information provided. It is usually at at this point that we will organise a Meet & Greet with you and the animal.
It is a Strong Heart’s adoption policy to arrange a Meet & Greet with the prospective family and the animal before finalising the adoption. The Meet & Greet will allow the opportunity to visit the animal and have a pat and a play with them. The foster carer will tell you a bit about the animal's personality and what they have been like for the time they’ve been in their care. It is a great opportunity to ask the carer about the animals food, sleeping and any other health requirements.
If the Meet & Greet goes well on the day, in most cases you will be able to take the animal home straight away after payment of the adoption fee. All necessary paperwork including vet work history and transfer of ownership information will be sent via email within a few days unless otherwise specified.
