Hello,

Does anyone have sheep or Goat(s) suitable as pets as a companion for my Pony who lost his old friend and companion at the weekend and is very subdued and lonely.

Must be easy to handle/kind temperemant.

We have a smallholders number and can offer a kind and loving home. Free or limited funds available. Pembrokeshire/Carmarthenshire area

Awwww, sorry to hear that griffin036. Can I ask what his old companion was? Was it another pony or a sheep ... or maybe a goat?
....and Welcome to the Forum

Hi

Thanks for the welcome

I lost my old boy 17.3hh Warmblood gelding he was 25 yo and we think he might have had a heart attack or just died in his sleep (hopefully) I found him in the field on Sat morning

Now my poor Exmoor Pony is left all alone with only the chickens as friends.

Dont want to take on another equine at present as Im 7 months pregnant, hence asking for sheep or goateee

Oh heavens - what a shock, so sorry to hear that - but he had a good innings and was well loved by the sound of it. I have an aged Welsh mare along with 3 other hooligans, but can quite understand that at 7m pregnant you don;t want to take on another equine

. Hopefully someone on here will come along soon with a 'possible', but I'll have a think

I saw someone with a whether that needed rehoming the other day - I *think* it was a Toggenburg(goaty!) as it struck a cord that if I didn't already have 2 of them I'd have had him

I'm sure its on here - have a look in goats and marketplace...

There you go! I think its shropshire so not too far from Wales - you might need a couple though

Do you want to loan a donkey?

If you get sheep or goats get a couple as plumseverywhere said.

Plumseverywhere-thanks I would take him but too far to go unfortunately. Will definately take a couple or maybe more (sshh dont tell my OH) We have enough grazing after all!!

Omnipeasant-Didnt really want to take on another equine friend, but may consider if all else fails.

Thanks again
