This exceedingly handsome chap is our Rupert!
Rupert is around 27 years old and he has been with us since 2007 – our longest resident! He is a firm favourite at Bleakholt.
Unfortunately for Rupert, he has had a few dental issues recently as, due to old age, his teeth aren’t what they were which is a common problem in older horses.
Rupert is also going blind but can function well as long as there are no fast movements. While he can be shy at times, he can also be a bit cheeky when he wants to be!
We want Rupert to continue having the very best life with us and that means that due to his problem teeth, he can’t chew normal hay.
It means we have to get special hay replacement for him which has been soaked, but he still loves it! Unfortunately it is a bit pricey – but he’s worth it!
