Capitana

Female · Senior · 17 years

Mare / Castaño / PRE / 165cm — Available for Sponsorship / Adoption Rescued in 2009.Capitana was rescued from the Beniarbeig area of Marina Alta, Valencia, after being found in a stable on private land. Her companion was laying next to her, having tragically died, and Capitana had no food or water. She was brought back to the APAC yard in a terrible state and it has taken a lot of care and work for her to become the gorgeous horse she is now. After her recovery she was given a wonderful home with a family in Denia, but sadly, Capitana was returned to us, as the family had to move back to their home country and taking Capitana with them was not possible.Capitana is now back with us, and settled in like she has never been away. She is a very happy mare, lovely to ride and has a very calm nature. She would be an amazing horse for an experienced rider, Capitana can be strong at times but in general is very willing to please.We would like to see her rehomed with someone who has a good bond with her, time to care for her and where she can live in a stable with adequate turn out. She is good with other horses and used to living in a herd.If Capitana might be the horse you have been looking to give a home to, please contact us to arrange to meet her.If this isn’t an option, why not sponsor her?

About Capitana

What life with Capitana looks like

Capitana is a extra-large senior horse waiting at APAC Rescue Horses in Spain.

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 Spain

Spanish protectoras generally include sterilization, all vaccinations, microchip ID, and EU pet passport in the adoption fee (typically €250–€400 for a dog, €100–€180 for a cat). Many maintain partnerships with rescue transport providers across the EU.

Frequently asked

Adopting Capitana, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Capitana?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. APAC Rescue Horses handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Capitana on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Capitana if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — APAC Rescue Horses 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. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Capitana 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 Capitana 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 APAC Rescue Horses early rather than rehoming privately; they know Capitana 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.
