Adopt Tawny

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 14 years

Say hello to Tawny! Tawny is a 14 year old, 11hh, liver chestnut, Welsh, mare who is ready to find her home as a non-ridden companion. Tawny’s perfect match would be someone who is very patient and understanding as Tawny can be unsure to begin with. She is rewarding to work with, and will require a fosterer who wants to continue growing her confidence and working to help calm her worries. Tawny is willing to try new things when she has built a bond with you and has a lot of love to give.

About Tawny

What life with Tawny looks like

Tawny is a senior mixed breed horse waiting at Bransby Horses Rescue & Welfare in Lincoln.

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 Tawny, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Tawny?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Bransby Horses Rescue & Welfare handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Tawny on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Tawny if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Bransby Horses Rescue & Welfare 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 Tawny 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 Tawny 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 Bransby Horses Rescue & Welfare early rather than rehoming privately; they know Tawny 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.
