Taurus Taurus is a friendly Welsh section A. He is full of character and human orientated. Taurus likes to help with all activities going on in the field however he is an older gent and knows his own mind so if he doesnt think an activity is worth his time he will say NO Thank you.

Feeding Requirements: Taurus is not on any hard feed currently, but does have free access to vitamins and minerals.

About Taurus (E2019022)

What life with Taurus (E2019022) looks like

Taurus (E2019022) is a senior horse waiting at The Hugs Foundation 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

UK shelters work under the Pet Travel Scheme (post-Brexit, the EU pet passport is not valid; a UK Animal Health Certificate is required for travel into the EU). Most UK rescues focus on domestic placements but some work with EU partners.

Frequently asked

Adopting Taurus (E2019022), answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Taurus (E2019022)?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. The Hugs Foundation handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Taurus (E2019022) on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Taurus (E2019022) if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — The Hugs Foundation 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. UK adopters: post-Brexit travel into the EU requires an Animal Health Certificate. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Taurus (E2019022) 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 Taurus (E2019022) 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 The Hugs Foundation early rather than rehoming privately; they know Taurus (E2019022) 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. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
