Adopt Capricho

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 2 years

Capricho 31-05-2024 Hello everyone, My name is Capricho, a proud Paso-Fino Colombiano. I was born on June 27, 2010, and we're about to celebrate a very special day. It's not just my birthday, but also that of my dear companion Tamara, who was born on June 27, 1982. And if that's not enough, we're also celebrating the birthday of our big friend Freda, who was born on June 27, 1942. What a special day, huh? We're definitely going to celebrate together! My life began as a sport horse, full of energy and strength. Unfortunately, it didn't always go smoothly. I underwent two castrations that were not successful, which led to a lot of aggression and pain, even resulting in a serious injury. Eventually, they decided I wasn't suitable for carrying tourists on rides to the beach. I literally fought my way out of that and ended up at an auto-slaughter facility. My future looked bleak until Tamara found me and with great effort bought me out of that situation. She saved me from a hopeless existence.

Capricho 31-05-2024 Hallo allemaal, Mijn naam is Capricho, een trotse Paso-Fino Colombiano. Ik ben geboren op 27 juni 2010, en binnenkort vieren we een heel bijzondere dag. Het is niet alleen mijn verjaardag, maar ook die van mijn dierbare vriendin Tamara, die op 27 juni 1982 geboren is. En alsof dat nog niet genoeg is, vieren we ook de verjaardag van onze grote vriendin Freda, die op 27 juni 1942 ter wereld kwam. Wat een speciale dag, h ? Dit gaan we zeker samen vieren! Mijn leven begon als een sportpaard, vol energie en kracht. Helaas verliep het niet altijd soepel. Ik heb twee castraties ondergaan die niet succesvol waren. Dat zorgde voor veel agressie en pijn, en zelfs voor een ernstig gewonde. Uiteindelijk besloten ze dat ik niet geschikt was om toeristen te dragen voor ritjes naar het strand. Daar heb ik me letterlijk vrij van gevochten en kwam ik terecht op een autosloperij. Mijn toekomst zag er somber uit, totdat Tamara me vond en met veel moeite vrij kocht. Ze redde me van een uitzichtloos bestaan. Toen ik bij

About Capricho

What life with Capricho looks like

Capricho is a young adult mixed breed horse waiting at Stichting Pippi in Netherlands.

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 Netherlands

Dutch shelters typically require a household assessment and an adoption contract. Animals are routinely sterilized, microchipped, and registered in the national pet database (NDG) before placement.

Frequently asked

Adopting Capricho, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Capricho?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Stichting Pippi handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Capricho on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Capricho if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Stichting Pippi 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 Capricho 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 Capricho 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 Stichting Pippi early rather than rehoming privately; they know Capricho 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 (NL). 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.
