World Horse Welfare Keith (aka Lenni) as featured in Welsh Rider (Aug edition)

Keith was born at World Horse Welfare's Glenda Spooner Farm Rescue and Rehoming Centre in Somerset, after his mother came in due to welfare concerns.  He was initially rehomed as a youngster for handling, but his re-homer was unable to continue to care for him so he was returned to the farm ready to find a new home where he could continue his education.  

His new re-homer, Ali, was looking for a pony for her granddaughter Livvi and after seeing Keith on the World Horse Welfare website then meeting him in person, they fell in love.  Keith arrived in his new home at Lower Stockland, near Cardiff as a four year old and quickly settled into the yard, making friends with every horse in his field.  

Livvi continued Keith's handling and training before backing him and two years later the pair is now competing successfully in all disciplines from show jumping to dressage.  Ali said, "the best think about Keith is his fantastic temperament and honest.  He has a real love for life and willingness to learn.  We recommend rehoming to all the other horse owners on our yard and in fact some have been so inspired by how well Livvi has done with Keith they have rehomed rescue horse and ponies too."
