Rockie

Rockie is a young mule with a gentle heart who is searching for a patient and understanding home to help him continue his journey. He came into our care after being abandoned at Ballinasloe Fair, having suffered a difficult start, including injuries to his face from being tied with rope. Despite everything he’s been through, Rockie is showing just how much he wants to trust and connect.

When Rockie first arrived, he was very nervous and unsure, and understandably he struggled with fear-based behaviours such as kicking. With time, care, and consistent handling, he has come on incredibly well and will now give clear warnings when he feels uncomfortable. He is learning to trust people again and continues to make steady progress every day.

At heart, Rockie is a very affectionate boy who forms strong bonds with his person once he feels safe. He will need a calm, experienced home that can give him the time, patience, and reassurance he needs to fully come into himself. Given the right environment, we believe he has so much potential to grow in confidence.

Rockie is also a lovely mover and, when he is old enough and ready, could be broken and ridden in the future.

This special boy has been through a lot, but he has so much love to give. With the right person by his side, Rockie will truly shine.
