Lord

Rescued in 2016.

Lord and his partner Lucio were brought to the APAC Yard together after the riding centre where they were stabled closed down. They had been a partnership for many, many years, pulling a driving carriage, attending functions and taking part in exhibitions. They were an incredible sight to see; two huge black horses, so strong and with an amazing presence. On retiring and finding themselves without a home, they were sadly submitted to APAC.

Lord is blind, and he and his seeing partner Lucio were rarely ever apart. Lucio always took good care of Lord; when they first arrived, Lucio guided Lord around the new paddock and made sure he knew what was what, before he left Lord’s side.

With no sight at all in one eye and an extremely limited amount in the other (he can smell a carrot a mile off though, no fear of him missing out there!) Lord deals well with his sight disability. He has a wonderful nature, needs company and loves attention. Lord enjoys his freedom, loves being outside, and knows his way around the paddock. He just needs slight guidance at feeding time to ensure he knows where his food is placed.

We’d hoped to find a new home for this massive noble pair, believing that Lord could be adopted to the right people if going alongside his partner Lucio. It was never to be though, and we sadly said our goodbyes to Lucio in XXXX. Lord remains living and being loved, at APAC, were he will see out his days.

Although Lord will never need to worry about being without a loving home again, he is available for sponsorship, so if you can keep this magnificent beast in hay and carrots, please sign up to sponsor Lord today!
