About Cashie
The handsome boy Cashie came to Forever Friends in January 2022- after being surrendered by his owner whose income circumstances changed. He is 15.3 hands high and approximately 20 years old. He is suited as a companion horse and not as a riding horse.
During our interactions with Cashie, we have found that he likes to be handled by assertive confient carer who is willing to ingage him in stimuls activities such liberty work. Cashie is extremely intelligent, he's very affectionate and we believe that most people who meet him will fall in love with him. He does weave and can get pushy so advised not to hand feed him.
We have done some liberty work with him and he's responded well to that. As a former racehorse, he has the training and desire to to go fast and his training instincts activate when he sees wide open spaces. We have found that he walks well on the lead and responds well when he is given activities that require him to focus and think. We have been been using ground work with changes in direction and lunging to engage his active mind. Cashie becomes nervous when his feet are lifted and we will continue to work with him on this and his horse floating skills until his forever home is found. Cashie is sound in the paddock and a great companion to the other horses in the herd. He needs consisent work to continue his confidence with picking up feet due to a previous injury.
As a Thoroughbred, Cashie will require some additional hard feed during the winter months to keep his condition. He’ll also require appropriate rugging and shelter. His rugs will be supplied to the new owner as part of his adoption.
His forever home will have other permanent horses so that he will always have a paddock companion.
