How do I contact the shelter about Lagertha?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Bransby Horses Rescue & Welfare handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Lagertha on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Lagertha if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Bransby Horses Rescue & Welfare 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 Lagertha 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 Lagertha 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 Bransby Horses Rescue & Welfare early rather than rehoming privately; they know Lagertha 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.

Lagertha

Lagertha is looking for a new home where she can have time to settle into her new routine, she would benefit from someone who is patient and will understand her personality as she can be a little wary of being groomed across her body and benefits from a quiet, gentle approach.

About Lagertha

What life with Lagertha looks like

Lagertha is a adult mixed breed horse waiting at Bransby Horses Rescue & Welfare in Lincoln.

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.
