Scotty’s story
Scotty is a handsome, 25-year-old Belgian draft gelding, who was rescued through our partnership with the Good Place. Elderly Scotty, like so many unwanted horses, was taken to auction with an uncertain fate.
We wanted to give Scotty the life he deserves since it was obvious, based on his scars, that he had worked hard his whole life for people. Since arriving at the Little Red Barn, he is learning to enjoy human companionship — being spoiled and fussed over with brushings and hugs, regular hoof trims, and exceptional veterinary and nutritional care.
Like every resident at the Little Red Barn, Scotty receives resident-focused care: a personalised plan covering nutrition, veterinary care, gentle handling techniques, enriched relationships, specialised bedding and a safe living environment.
Our goal is to give each resident as rich a life as possible in a loving, safe home — free of exploitation, for life.
Sponsoring helps us cover food, bedding and veterinary care, and lets you follow along with Scotty’s life at the sanctuary.
