CoCo Bean2009 | Spotted | Shetland X | Under 10hhCoco Bean came to us in early 2024 having developed Equine Metabolic Syndrome (EMS) and Equine Cushing’s disease with bouts of laminitis.This is sadly not an unusual scenario for Shetlands.The story so far...His owners loved him dearly but the restrictions to his lifestyle because of disease, had led to difficulty in handling and aggressive behaviours.Everyone became quite scared of his unpredictable outbursts – especially when he became excited to be out in a field.They had tried their best to manage him appropriately but recognised that they lacked the experience needed.With additional issues to deal with, they contacted us in desperation.Unfortunately, because of our precarious financial position, we were only able to offer help, with an agreement to cover most of his costs long term.He is definitely a bit of a terrorist but has thankfully been fit and well since arrival.We are still working on his ‘attitude adjustment’ – he thinks he is the main man and will challenge any other horse to a duel no matter their size.Likes: Mares, food and freedomDislikes: Taking his daily meds and sharing his harem of mares with any other male hors

About CoCo Bean

What life with CoCo Bean looks like

CoCo Bean is a 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 CoCo Bean, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about CoCo Bean?: 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 CoCo Bean on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt CoCo Bean 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 CoCo Bean 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 CoCo Bean still needs.
What happens if CoCo Bean 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 CoCo Bean 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.
