LONDON

London is a 20-year-old Hanoverian gelding, originally imported from Holland. After a successful dressage career, London was forced into early retirement due to arthritis, which led to a pinched nerve in his neck, causing unsteadiness under saddle. While this ended his competitive days, it opened the door to an equally fulfilling chapter in his life.

What makes London truly special isn’t just his impressive stature and striking presence—it’s his genuine love for people and his enthusiasm for his new role. This remarkably expressive and grateful horse has a gift for connecting with everyone he meets, leaving a lasting impression on handlers, visitors, and volunteers alike.

In his retirement, London has found his place as the confident leader of the gelding pasture. His days are filled with the simple pleasures of grazing, lounging in the sun, and engaging in spirited play sessions with his closest companion, Howard.

If you love London and would love to contribute to his health and well-being, please consider a sponsorship. Every bit helps to keep our horses fed, healthy, and feeling good to do their important work.
