Freddy

Male · Senior · 16 years

Meet Freddy. Freddy is a sweet 16-year-old pony who, unfortunately, did not have a very good home before he came to us. Luckily, he is now in a safe place, and it's time for a fresh start. We wish Freddy a nice home where he will receive the love and attention he deserves. Freddy was recently gelded and, of course, still needs some time to get fully used to his new situation. He doesn't show any real stallion behavior such as biting, but sometimes he still feels a bit like a stallion. This is expected to become less and less with time and the right guidance. Freddy is also very gentle to handle. He loves being groomed and cuddled, and he clearly enjoys all the attention he gets. He is also social with other horses and ponies and likes to stand together with his own kind. Freddy can stay outside 24/7, but he is also perfectly happy to spend the night in a stable. We are mainly looking for a nice, quiet home where he can fully enjoy his new life. For Freddy, it might eventually be possible to train him to pull a sulky. This is absolutely not required; what matters most is that he gets a place where he is well looked after and where no demands are placed on him. After everything Freddy has been through, we mainly want to give him a gentle landing. A place where he can discover how wonderful it is to be loved, where he can cuddle and be groomed, and where he can simply be Freddy.

Maak kennis met Freddy Freddy is een lieve pony van 16 jaar oud die helaas niet zo'n goed huis heeft gehad voordat hij bij ons kwam. Gelukkig is hij nu op een veilige plek en is het tijd voor een nieuwe start. We gunnen Freddy een fijn huisje waar hij de liefde en aandacht krijgt die hij verdient. Freddy is recent geruind en moet natuurlijk nog even de tijd krijgen om helemaal te wennen aan zijn nieuwe situatie. Hij heeft geen echt hengstengedrag zoals bijten, maar soms voelt hij zich nog even een beetje mans. Dit zal met de tijd en de juiste begeleiding naar verwachting steeds minder worden. Verder is Freddy ontzettend lief in de omgang. Hij is dol op poetsen en knuffelen en geniet zichtbaar van alle aandacht die hij krijgt. Ook is hij sociaal naar andere paarden en pony's en staat hij graag samen met soortgenoten. Freddy kan 24/7 buiten staan, maar vindt het ook prima om 's nachts op stal te staan. We zoeken vooral een fijn en rustig huisje waar hij lekker mag genieten van zijn nieuwe leven. Voor Freddy zou het eventueel nog mogelijk zijn om hem te beleren voor de sulky. Dit hoeft natuurlijk absoluut niet; het belangrijkste is dat hij een plek krijgt waar goed naar hem gekeken wordt en waar niets moet. Na alles wat Freddy heeft meegemaakt, gunnen we hem nu vooral een zachte landing. Een plek waar hij mag ontdekken hoe fijn het is om geliefd te zijn, waar hij lekker kan knuffelen en poetsen en waar hij gewoon Freddy mag zijn.

About Freddy

What life with Freddy looks like

Freddy is a senior horse waiting at Paard zoekt baas in Ambt Delden.

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

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 Freddy, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Freddy?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Paard zoekt baas handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Freddy on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Freddy 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 Paard zoekt baas what paperwork and transport they require, and check the import rules of your country before you commit.
Is Freddy 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 Paard zoekt baas directly what is included and what Freddy still needs.
What happens if Freddy 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 Paard zoekt baas early rather than rehoming privately; they know Freddy 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.
