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 an 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

Paperwork, vet checks and transport rules differ by species and by country. Ask the shelter what is included and what you will need to arrange before you commit.

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?: Sometimes. Whether a horse can move between countries depends on the species and the rules in both countries, and some species need permits or have restrictions. Ask Here4Horses what paperwork and transport they require, and check the import rules of your country before you commit.
Is Brucie already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?: What a horse comes with (vet checks, vaccinations, identification, paperwork) varies by shelter and species. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask Here4Horses directly what is included and what Brucie still needs.
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.
