Jaffa

Jaffa2010 | Skewbald | Shetland | Under 10hhWe never set out to operate as a sanctuary because it has always been our policy to match horses and ponies to their perfect forever homes.However, as time goes by it has become clear that some individuals will need to remain with us throughout their lives.This is particularly the case with many of our Shetland’s, Jaffa included.As a result, Jaffa will remain here at H4H HQ for the foreseeable future and your valuable support means the bond that he shares with Ninja will remain unbroken and they will hopefully enjoy many happy years together.The story so far...We received a call from a lady in North West Durham, reporting a Shetland stallion running loose around the outskirts of the town where she lived.This pony was described as ‘terrorising’ local riders and generally making a nuisance of himself.We checked with the police and locals but no owner could be found.Arrangements were made to capture Jaffa as he had now been named, this proved successful and a small team, who had fundraised £100 to help pay for his castration, transported him to us.The abandonment process was followed under The Control of Horses Act 2015 and the decision was

About Jaffa

What life with Jaffa looks like

Jaffa is a small senior 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 Jaffa, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Jaffa?
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 Jaffa on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Jaffa 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 Jaffa 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 Jaffa 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 Jaffa 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.
