Chequers came to us following the tragic and untimely death of his owner in January 2020, along with Anna and Tinkerbelle. Right from the beginning he settled well to the routine despite the fact that his obesity meant that he was placed on a strict diet from day one.
Chequers stands just over 14 hands high and yet weighed a whopping 570 kilos when we first met him! Obesity in horses is surprisingly common because well cared for ponies often have access to far more grass than they actually need.
Chequers has enjoyed several placements on our Loanie Pony scheme. Soundness issues now mean that he needs a foster home to see out his days. We appear to have found the perfect one for him but he is ultimately our responsibility for life – potentially at least another decade.
We will always need your help, in order for us to be here for him when needed so please join team Chequers at Here4Horses.
