About Austin

Austin has had a difficult start in life. He came from Ballinasloe, where, at just 5–6 months old, he had already experienced far too much, including having multiple people riding him at once. When he arrived into our care, he went straight into a foster home where he received the extra care, time, and patience he needed to learn how to simply be a pony.

Although he was initially very nervous, Austin has come out of his shell beautifully. He’s now a cheeky, confident little character who is easy to manage and a joy to be around. He is already gelded and ready to find a loving forever home.

Austin would make a wonderful family pet and, in a couple of years when he is more mature, he could also be gently broken and brought on further.

If you’re looking for a sweet, resilient pony with lots of personality and potential, Austin could be the perfect addition to your family.
