Adopt Izzy

Female · Senior · 14 years

Izzy is a grey 12hh Welsh Section A mare born in 2012. She came to Shy Lowen in 2017 as she was in the process of being trained as a riding pony, but had developed some behaviours, including rearing, that her owner could no longer manage, as her personal circumstances meant that she could not dedicate the time to Izzy that she needed. Izzy is a very pretty, dainty little pony with a friendly and cheeky personality. She is very vocal and can be a little feisty to handle at times, and was difficult for the dentist and farrier at first, but she is improving all the time. Izzy has been assessed as a riding pony and proved to be very good and responsive, but does occasionally throw a little buck from excitement. Again, we are certain she will calm down as she matures and does more regular work. Izzy is available for rehoming to an experienced home who are able to bring her on and continue her education. She would make a fantastic little lead rein or show pony for a confident young rider and has many years ahead of her, so would be ideal for a family with more than one child.

About Izzy

What life with Izzy looks like

Izzy is a senior horse waiting at Shy Lowen Horse and Pony Sanctuary 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 Izzy, answered.

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