  • Olaf was abandoned to fend for himself at a very young age. Could you spare just £3 to help give horses and ponies like him a second chance? Please visit: bit.ly/3uHWYGx
    Young foal Olaf was separated from his mother too early and abandoned on land prone to flooding, left to fend for himself as freezing winter weather approached.
    Thankfully, the landowners cared enough to get Olaf the help he needed, and they contacted us. When Field Officer, Chris Shaw, visited to assess the situation in early December 2021 it was clear that Olaf was very young indeed, just a few months old - and his situation was precarious with winter weather fast approaching.
    Olaf arrived safely at Hall Farm Rescue and Rehoming Centre in Norfolk where he is now being looked after by an expert team, who will care for him until he is ready for rehoming.

    Thanks everyone who has watched and shared Olaf's video. We've seen a lot of questions about Olaf's breeding, and would like to confirm he's a Cob type, this is the recognised European name for the breed, we do recognise that in North America these are referred to as Vanners. Please donate today to help us rescue the next Olaf - bit.ly/3srv2UM

      That is exactly what they are known here as in the states. And I'm telling you now, Olaf would cause quite a commotion over here as our horses and ponies do not look like this at all.
      Everybody would just go crazy for the wonderful action and style of this little guy. He's simply beautiful and I would just love to have him in the barn.

      Thank you. She kept referring to Olaf as a youngster. How old do you think he is? He seems well-filled out for a very young horse. Will he get much taller? Just curious, he is gorgeous, in any case.

      He is a beauty. Little stepping cob?? I took a wee mini shetland colt on ..I was isolated with him with not much experiance. I kept him for just 6 weeks or so. I only had a shelter for him. I had all the innoculations passport worm counts .. and he was
      the best creature. Id take him out on lead etc..let him run and graze where i could.
      I did eventually give him to an equine assisted therapy place..the same reason i bought him .
      Alas, i had no land, I was told it wasn't appropriated enough taking him out on lead etc.
      But my oh my; he screamed as they took him ..he was so loved and he evidently loved us. I doted on him.. I'm haunted; as I'd never heard such a fearful 😨 sound. I hope he never forgets us.. lil Bryn😔
