Perkins2019 | Bay | Gypsy Cob | Under 13.2hhPerkins has been given time to grow and is currently in the queue to start training in preparation for the backing process.We will then give him a little more time to mature before finding him a little, loving partner for him.The story so far...Perkins sadly started out, as yet another unwanted and abandoned foal.Named after one of the very kind ladies who helped to transport him to Here4Horses HQ, we feel ‘Perkins’ suits him very well. He was so lucky to be found before he met a miserable fate, like so many others before him.Weaned from his mother much too early in August 2019, Perkins was un-used to being handled, was visibly distressed, dehydrated and extremely hungry. He would desperately try and suckle for milk from any companion (male or female).Thankfully, he adapted to foal milk formula, fed to him from a bucket and quickly improved as a result. Perkins has slowly returned to full health – sometimes a full recovery from a bad start can take up to a year.His cute face and innocent demeanour, means he attracts many admirers and he dislikes anyone stealing his limelight!Likes: His best friends, Douglass and TikTokDislikes: Anyone ste

About Perkins

What life with Perkins looks like

Perkins is an adult 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 Perkins, answered.

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