Parsley2014 | Black | Cob | Under 13.2hhThe horse crisis in 2021 is by no means what it was at the time Parsley was rescued at the end of 2014. Sadly however, there are still highly irresponsible owners out there, who continue to abandon their unwanted animals.Parsley is one of the lucky ones.We need you to lend your support so that we can continue to be ready and able to step in when needed and help other ponies just like him.The story so far...Back in the early part of the horse crisis, one of our team was asked by Durham County Council, if they could take in a mare and foal.Everyone was then a little surprised, when a foal followed a yearling colt off the horsebox!Poor Parsley had clearly been weaned rather too early and was making fruitless attempts at suckling from his new found guardian. The wardens, who had been called to help the abandoned pair, had understandably assumed they had found a mother and her son.Despite being in fairly good body condition on arrival, it took many months to bring Parsley to good health; he had a heavy worm infestation and suffered repeated bouts of scouring (diarrhoea).As a result he needed prolonged medication to allow his inflamed gut to heal.

About Parsley

What life with Parsley looks like

Parsley is a 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 Parsley, answered.

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