Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 16 years

Star(Merel) Ponette Appaloosa Female Born 21/07/2009(16 years and 10 months) Star is one of the horses seized from the side of Bastogne at a horse trader. She was in a sad state when we recovered her, she stays on her guard, but is very nice. His former official has just been sentenced by the authorities in a long-awaited judgement at the Neufchâteau Correctional Court. Jean-Louis Ligot was sentenced to six months of suspended prison, 15,000 euros fine with a stay for 4/5 and two years ban on holding equidae, sheep, cattle or goats. A light penalty that should not satisfy the horse merchant who had made an esclander during the prosecutor's indictment. "You kill me if you pronounce this judgment," he said when he was asked to ban him from holding these animals. This merchant had left several animals dying of thirst in November 2013. In fact, he was not in order at the level of the animal passport in his possession and had to answer for numerous breaches of the AFSCA standards.

Etoile(Merel) Ponette Appaloosa Femelle Née le 21/07/2009(16 ans et 10 mois) Étoile fait partie des chevaux saisis du côté de Bastogne chez un marchand de chevaux. Elle était dans un triste état quand nous l'avons récupérée, elle reste sur ses gardes, mais est très gentille. Son ancien responsable vient d'être condamné par les autorités dans jugement très attendu au tribunal correctionnel de Neufchâteau. Jean-Louis Ligot a été condamné à six mois de prison avec sursis, 15.000 euros d?amende avec un sursis pour les 4/5 et à deux ans d?interdiction de détenir des équidés, ovins, bovins ou caprins. Une peine légère qui ne devrait pourtant pas satisfaire le marchand de chevaux qui avait fait un esclandre lors du réquisitoire du procureur. « Vous me tuez si vous prononcez ce jugement », avait-il martelé lorsqu?il avait été question de lui interdire de détenir ces animaux. Ce marchand avait laissé mourir de soif plusieurs bêtes en novembre 2013. Il n?était d?ailleurs pas en ordre au niveau du passeport des animaux en sa possession et devait répondre de nombreux manquements aux normes AFSCA.

About SB

What life with SB looks like

SB is a senior mixed breed horse waiting at Animal Sans Toit in Faimes.

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 Belgium

Belgian shelters operate under regional law (Flanders, Wallonia, Brussels each have their own rules). All adoptions include the Eurochip, vaccinations, and a stewardship contract. Several Flemish shelters partner with Dutch and German rescue networks.

Frequently asked

Adopting SB, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about SB?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Animal Sans Toit handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw SB on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt SB if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Animal Sans Toit will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is SB already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most horses on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if SB 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 Animal Sans Toit early rather than rehoming privately; they know SB 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 (FR). 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.
