Capitana

Female

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? Visit our donate page to find out more.

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?: Sometimes. Whether a animal can move between countries depends on the species and the rules in both countries, and some species need permits or have restrictions. Ask APAC Rescue Horses what paperwork and transport they require, and check the import rules of your country before you commit.
Is Capitana already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?: What a animal 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 APAC Rescue Horses directly what is included and what Capitana still needs.
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.
