Owner Finds Horse Hannah After a Year of Searching

“I would definitely use Right Horse Right Home again. I looked for over a year before finding Hannah. I saw so many wrong horses. They just weren’t as advertised or turned out to be dealers or scams.” states Claire buyer of the lovely Hannah who had been searching for her new horse for over a year before coming across Right Horse Right Home where she found her horse for life.
Hannah, a 16h Irish Draught X 10 yr old mare was advertised with us back in April 2022, she had been owned by Claire for 4 years. Her owner was seeking an allrounder type home for her where she could get out and about more as sadly her health was such that she could not do the things she thought Hannah would benefit from and Hannah was really too big and substantial for her now she had grown into her frame and matured. Hannah had done beach rides and pleasure rides with her owner, a very small amount of jumping and she had the potential to do more with the right confident rider. Hannah was sensible to hack both alone and in company and pretty unflappable in traffic.
Once advertised with us, Hannah was quite popular being a good size and an all round sensible, level headed horse in the prime of her life. She was also reasonably priced at just under £5k so the owner received a good number of applications to consider and within a week the right home was found. In the end her owner decided on Claire from Bedfordshire and she has been with Claire ever since. Just before Christmas we asked Claire how she is getting on with the lovely Hannah and she sent us this super reply below which we would like to share with you all.
“Hannah is the most humanised horse I’ve ever met. She loves people. She talks to me constantly. Loves sheep but was not sure about other horses when she came. She now has horse friends. She was sold as a happy hacker who schooled but didn’t enjoy jumping. She actually loves to jump, not with me as it’s not my thing. She has been to pony club rallies and behaved beautifully. She is good in the school and always tries her best. She is polite but can be very cheeky. Hannah is my best friend and I love her to bits.
She is a character and we have a tight bond.
I would definitely use Right Horse Right Home again. I looked for over a year before finding Hannah. I saw so many wrong horses. They just weren’t as advertised or turned out to be dealers or scams. Right horse right home appealed to me as I know the seller has paid to advertise and can vet the buyers. Hannah’s owner and I talked for hours. I knew she was everything I wanted, well not quite as I wanted a bay gelding, but I love my hippo of a grey mare! Mud in places you never knew existed!!
Her owner vetted me before I was allowed to meet her. I was one of 2 people that’s passed. As she liked me and thought I was a perfect match I got to meet Hannah first. I didn’t mind paying as it meant I was not wasting mine or the seller’s time looking at inappropriate horses. Hannah will be my last horse. I have no plans to sell her. But if I ever need to it will be via word of mouth or Right Horse Right Home.”
