Adopt Echeyde

Mixed Breed · Unknown

A resilient horse with an incredible story. After a leg injury ended his riding career, Echeyde became vulnerable, as many horses do on the island. Fortunately, he had a caring owner who kept him as a companion horse. Despite a freak accident where a tree fell on his back, Echeyde’s strength saw him through, and today you’d never know it happened. When his previous home had to close and his companion horse passed away, Echeyde needed a new place to call home. That’s when we stepped in. Echeyde is the first resident of our future retirement paddock—a safe haven for horses like him before their stories turn sad. In Tenerife, horses often become vulnerable when their riding careers end. Without proper care, they can end up in the wrong hands, facing neglect or being ridden despite their pain. We’ve lacked the space and funds to take in more horses like Echeyde, but we’re heading in the right direction now and hope to be able to rescue more horses like him soon. Echeyde’s arrival marks the beginning of this important journey. We’re grateful to Echeyde’s previous carers, who have generously donated towards his first six months of care. If you’d like to help us welcome more horses into our sanctuary, please consider sponsoring Echeyde. As a sponsor, you’ll receive regular updates on his journey and see firsthand how your support is making a difference in his life. Your generosity ensures he, and others like him, receive the care and love they deserve.

About Echeyde

What life with Echeyde looks like

Echeyde is a small adult mixed breed horse waiting at Tenerife Animal Sanctuary in Santa Cruz de Tenerife.

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 Echeyde, answered.

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