Brucie

Unknown · Senior · 12 years

Brucie2014 | Skewbald | Shetland | Under 10hhWe are often approached by people who have found themselves in difficult situations and are no longer able to care for their animals as they would wish.We aren’t always in a position to help ourselves but can sometimes liaise with other charities to find a solution. We would far rather people ask for help, rather than continue to struggle on alone and their horses suffer as a result.Sponsoring ponies like beautiful Brucie, means we will be able to continue to offer assistance when needed.It really is the difference between us being able to say ‘yes we can help’ or ‘sorry, we can’t take any more into our care at this time’.Please take a moment to sign up now and play your part in being Here4Horses. Thank you!The story so far...It is a sad fact that Covid 19 took a huge toll on people’s lives – and their businesses.Back in December 2021 we were approached to see if we could help with a miniature Shetland suffering from chronic laminitis. This is an awful disease of the horses’ feet and is very painful.Despite being a much-loved pony, the family business was struggling and with a new small family too, the situation had become completely ove

About Brucie

What life with Brucie looks like

Brucie is a extra-large senior horse waiting at Here4Horses in United Kingdom.

Adopting a horse is a long-term commitment that almost always requires either land or a boarding stable. The shelter will discuss the horse's training level, vet history, and what kind of work or companionship they're suited for. Expect ongoing costs: feed, farrier, vet, and stabling.

🇬🇧Adopting from United Kingdom

UK shelters work under the Pet Travel Scheme (post-Brexit, the EU pet passport is not valid; a UK Animal Health Certificate is required for travel into the EU). Most UK rescues focus on domestic placements but some work with EU partners.

Frequently asked

Adopting Brucie, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Brucie?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Here4Horses handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Brucie on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Brucie if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Here4Horses will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. UK adopters: post-Brexit travel into the EU requires an Animal Health Certificate. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Brucie already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most horses on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Brucie isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Here4Horses early rather than rehoming privately; they know Brucie and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (EN). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
