Tapas

Male · Senior · 22 years

Tapas comes from a group of 24 Arabians that were taken in by us. When he arrived, he was seriously neglected and needed a great deal of care and attention. Fortunately, he has since recovered completely and is ready to find his own place. A place where he will always be welcome. Tapas stands about 1.55 meters tall and, despite everything he has been through, has remained an incredibly friendly, calm and sociable horse. He is missing one ear. We don't know what happened, but fortunately Tapas doesn't suffer from it. It actually makes him unique and does nothing to diminish his sweet nature. His health is fully in order: Gelded Trimmed by the farrier Teeth checked and treated Healthy and ready for the future Tapas is sociable with other horses and ponies and would love to have a good buddy. He is looking for a calm and loving home where he will receive all the attention he so deserves. A place where he can finally be a carefree horse. For older horses who are mainly looking for a comfortable retirement as a paddock companion, it is unfortunately often difficult to find a suitable place. That is why we hope someone will look past his age and his missing ear and see who Tapas truly is: a grateful, gentle boy with a heart of gold. Will you give Tapas his very last, but most beautiful chapter?

Tapas komt uit een groep van 24 Arabieren die bij ons zijn opgevangen. Toen hij bij ons kwam, was hij ernstig verwaarloosd en had hij veel zorg en aandacht nodig. Gelukkig is hij inmiddels helemaal opgeknapt en is hij klaar om zijn eigen plekje te vinden. Een plek waar hij voor altijd welkom is. Tapas is ongeveer 1,55 meter hoog en ondanks alles wat hij heeft meegemaakt, is hij een ontzettend vriendelijk, rustig en sociaal paard gebleven. Hij mist één oor. We weten niet wat daarmee is gebeurd, maar Tapas heeft daar gelukkig geen last van. Het maakt hem juist uniek en doet niets af aan zijn lieve karakter. Zijn gezondheid is helemaal op orde: Geënt Bekapt door de hoefsmid Gebitscontrole en behandeling gehad Gezond en klaar voor de toekomst Tapas is sociaal met andere paarden en pony's en zou het heerlijk vinden om een fijn maatje te hebben. Hij zoekt een rustig en liefdevol thuis waar hij alle aandacht krijgt die hij zo verdient. Een plek waar hij eindelijk zorgeloos paard mag zijn. Voor oudere paarden die vooral een fijn pensioen als weidemaatje zoeken, is het helaas vaak moeilijk om een geschikt plekje te vinden. Daarom hopen wij dat iemand door zijn leeftijd en zijn ontbrekende oor heen kijkt en vooral ziet wie Tapas écht is: een dankbare, zachtaardige jongen met een hart van goud. Gun jij Tapas zijn allerlaatste, maar mooiste hoofdstuk?

About Tapas

What life with Tapas looks like

Tapas is a senior 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 Tapas, answered.

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