Georges-Gabriel

Unknown · Senior · 18 years

Georges-Gabriel arrived with Rulantica, Suzie and Vicky. We were contacted by a distressed equine shelter to accommodate these four new residents. Solidarity between shelters is essential, so we did not hesitate to say yes. Georges-Gabriel, who is nicknamed GG, is quite shy although it has calmed down since its arrival, it enjoys receiving some pats but remains distant. It and Rulantica are crazy in love: it is impossible to separate them, even for a few minutes.

Georges-Gabriel est arrivée avec Rulantica, Suzie et Vicky. Nous avons été contactés par un refuge pour équidés en détresse afin d’accueillir ces quatre nouveaux pensionnaires. La solidarité entre refuges est essentielle, nous n’avons donc pas hésité à dire oui. Georges-Gabriel, que l’on surnomme GG est assez timide bien qu’il s’est bien apaisé depuis son arrivée, il apprécie recevoir quelques caresses mais reste encore distant. Lui et Rulantica sont fous amoureux : il est impossible de les séparer, même pour quelques minutes.

About Georges-Gabriel

What life with Georges-Gabriel looks like

Georges-Gabriel is a senior horse waiting at Les Petits Vieux ASBL in Chièvres.

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 Belgium

Belgian shelters operate under regional law (Flanders, Wallonia, Brussels each have their own rules). All adoptions include the Eurochip, vaccinations, and a stewardship contract. Several Flemish shelters partner with Dutch and German rescue networks.

Frequently asked

Adopting Georges-Gabriel, answered.

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