Luca

Male · Young · 1 year

Meet Luca, an incredibly sweet 1-year-old Shetland pony stallion, about 80 centimeters tall. A cheerful and curious little fellow who is ready to find his own golden home. Luca came to us through a request from the Dierenbescherming (Dutch animal welfare organization), because his previous owners unfortunately could no longer care for him. Despite that difficult start, he has luckily kept his cheerful and affectionate character. Since arriving, Luca has won everyone's heart. He is incredibly curious, thoroughly enjoys attention, and likes to come over for a cuddle. He loves being around people and explores the world with great enthusiasm. Although Luca is still young, we can already see the character of a fantastic children's pony in the making. With the right guidance, love, and training, he can grow into a loyal friend to enjoy for many years to come. For Luca, we are looking for a loving home where he has all the time he needs to grow up. A place where he can learn through play, grow up among fellow equines, and receive the attention he deserves. There is no rush for Luca. We would rather wait for the right match than seek a quick solution. We want to give him a place where he can grow up safe, healthy, and happy into the wonderful pony he will undoubtedly become. Would you give Luca his well-deserved golden home? Or do you know someone who is looking for a sweet and playful companion to grow up together with?

Maak kennis met Luca , een ontzettend lief 1-jarig Shetlander hengstje van ongeveer 80 centimeter hoog. Een vrolijk en nieuwsgierig ventje dat klaar is om zijn eigen gouden huisje te vinden. Luca is via een aanvraag van de Dierenbescherming bij ons terechtgekomen, omdat zijn vorige eigenaren helaas niet langer voor hem konden zorgen. Ondanks die moeilijke start heeft hij zijn vrolijke en aanhankelijke karakter gelukkig behouden. Sinds zijn komst heeft Luca ieders hart veroverd. Hij is ontzettend nieuwsgierig, geniet volop van aandacht en komt graag even knuffelen. Hij vindt het heerlijk om bij mensen te zijn en ontdekt de wereld met veel enthousiasme. Hoewel Luca nog jong is, zien wij nu al het karakter van een fantastische kinderpony in de dop. Met de juiste begeleiding, liefde en opvoeding kan hij uitgroeien tot een trouwe vriend waar nog jarenlang van genoten kan worden. Voor Luca zoeken we een liefdevol thuis waar hij alle tijd krijgt om op te groeien. Een plek waar hij spelenderwijs mag leren, tussen soortgenootjes kan opgroeien en de aandacht krijgt die hij verdient. Voor Luca heeft het geen haast. We wachten liever op de juiste match dan op een snelle oplossing. We gunnen hem een plek waar hij veilig, gezond en gelukkig kan opgroeien tot de geweldige pony die hij ongetwijfeld zal worden. Gun jij Luca zijn welverdiende gouden huisje? Of ken je iemand die op zoek is naar een lief en speels maatje om samen mee op te groeien?

About Luca

What life with Luca looks like

Luca is a young adult horse waiting at Paard zoekt baas in Ambt Delden.

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 Netherlands

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 Luca, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Luca?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Paard zoekt baas handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Luca on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Luca 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 Paard zoekt baas what paperwork and transport they require, and check the import rules of your country before you commit.
Is Luca 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 Paard zoekt baas directly what is included and what Luca still needs.
What happens if Luca 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 Paard zoekt baas early rather than rehoming privately; they know Luca 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 (NL). 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.
