He is thankfully rather bright eyed and bushy tailed in comparison these days.He was very thin, crawling with lice and suffering from a heavy infestation of intestinal worms – yet another colt of no monetary value, left for dead at a time when the UK horse crisis had made sure that charities were full to capacity with neglected animals.We heard about him almost by chance. Social media posts from alarmed members of the public brought him to our attention.Trustee Claire Robinson (hence the play on his name), embarked upon a search for him and he was eventually discovered, weak and wobbly, on the edge of an industrial estate on Teesside.Once safely in our care, he thankfully made very good progress and little by little, a duckling has turned into a swan.Crusoe still has plenty of time to g

About Crusoe

What life with Crusoe looks like

Crusoe is a extra-large adult 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

UK shelters work under the Pet Travel Scheme (post-Brexit, the EU pet passport is not valid; a UK Animal Health Certificate is required for travel into the EU). Most UK rescues focus on domestic placements but some work with EU partners.

Frequently asked

Adopting Crusoe, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Crusoe?
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 Crusoe on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Crusoe if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Here4Horses 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. UK adopters: post-Brexit travel into the EU requires an Animal Health Certificate. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Crusoe 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 Crusoe 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 Crusoe 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.
