Jupiter has been one of the lucky ones as he escaped the bailiffs and his future is forever secure with us.Sponsoring Jupiter means we have the funds available to be able to step in when needed, to help others just like him in the future.The story so far...A call from Northumberland County Council’s Animal Welfare Officer, led us to a large housing estate where a ‘wild’ pony had been evading capture for almost two weeks.The cheeky faced, two year old colt we found, had perfected the art of escape – having jumped all manner of obstacles placed in his way including garden chairs, wheelie bins and even the front of a Ford Ka!Thankfully a walkway between two houses provided the perfect corral and Jupiter as we called him, made his final leap to captivity – straight onto the ramp of a strategically positioned trailer.He then spent many weeks eyeing human beings suspiciously but was always very tolerant once caught

About Jupiter

What life with Jupiter looks like

Jupiter is a large 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

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 Jupiter, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Jupiter?: 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 Jupiter on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Jupiter 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 Here4Horses what paperwork and transport they require, and check the import rules of your country before you commit.
Is Jupiter 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 Here4Horses directly what is included and what Jupiter still needs.
What happens if Jupiter 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 Jupiter 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.
