Liberty

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Senior · 20 years

The lady who is too beautiful… This is our beautiful 20-year-old chestnut thoroughbred mare, and her story is nothing short of heart breaking—but we’re determined to give her the fresh start she deserves. 💔 For years, she was used for breeding, giving birth to at least three foals. Tragically, her last pregnancy ended in disaster. Her owners made a terrible mistake by chemically bringing her into the season without knowing she was already pregnant, leading to the loss of her foal and causing her great suffering. As if that wasn’t enough, her owner then abandoned her at a stable, leaving her unpaid for three long months. She was barely given enough food to survive. When we were contacted about her, we knew we couldn’t leave her there. We paid €500 to release her and bring her to safety, and now, she’s ready to begin her healing journey. ❤️ Let’s give this brave girl the future she deserves.

About Liberty

What life with Liberty looks like

Liberty is a small senior mixed breed horse waiting at Tenerife Animal Sanctuary in Santa Cruz de Tenerife.

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 Spain

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 Liberty, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Liberty?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tenerife Animal Sanctuary handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Liberty on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Liberty 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 Tenerife Animal Sanctuary what paperwork and transport they require, and check the import rules of your country before you commit.
Is Liberty 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 Tenerife Animal Sanctuary directly what is included and what Liberty still needs.
What happens if Liberty 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 Tenerife Animal Sanctuary early rather than rehoming privately; they know Liberty 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 (ES). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically.
