Lilly Mae2005 | Skewbald | Shetland | Under 10hhLilly Mae is likely to remain with us indefinitely as her tendency to suffer from laminitis needs careful management for the rest of her life, to keep her sound and healthy.By sponsoring Lilly Mae, you help us fund her rehabilitation – but importantly – you also allow us to be in a position to help other ponies like her when the need arises.The story so far...Lilly Mae has a similar story to Moyrus. She was bought for children, who eventually outgrew her and lost interest. She was loved – and that was part of the reason that there had been no decision to part with her, as finding a suitable new home can be difficult.We were contacted in November 2020 by a concerned neighbour, desperately hoping that we could help find a home for this wee Shetland cutie, who needed a friend (or two).After discussions with the owner, it was decided that she should be signed over to the charity for a fee. Lilly Mae was unfortunately suffering from laminitis – a very painful condition of the hooves – and her teeth required attention too. She also needed a passport and vaccinations, all of which are costly for our charity.Lilly Mae was thankfully soon on t

About Lilly Mae

What life with Lilly Mae looks like

Lilly Mae 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

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 Lilly Mae, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Lilly Mae?: 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 Lilly Mae on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Lilly Mae 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 Lilly Mae 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 Lilly Mae still needs.
What happens if Lilly Mae 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 Lilly Mae 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.
