Tinkerbelle2008 | Chestnut | Shetland | Under 10hhTinkerbelle has suffered with a condition called Laminitis in the past; she needs careful ongoing management and foot treatment as a result.This is the main reason why most of the Shetlands who come into our care remain with us, as they can be very tricky to keep sound and well.Our average number of Shetland’s in residence is eight – we will therefore always need your support, to fund their day-to-day management and wellbeing.The story so far...Tinkerbelle joined us under the same sad circumstances as Chequers and Anna, in January 2020. They were a very close-knit trio having lived together as a tiny herd for many years.She was very friendly and approachable from the outset but not so keen to behave when asked to do things she wasn’t happy with, like picking up her feet or moving over in the stable whilst we muck out. She thankfully became more mannerly and very quickly figured out how to attract attention by pulling cute faces over the stable door or gate.We were fortunate to be approached by local Here4Horses supporter Dot, who was keen to add another cutie to her herd and kindly offered Tinkerbelle a foster home.Likes: her belly

About Tinkerbelle

What life with Tinkerbelle looks like

Tinkerbelle is a very small senior 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 Tinkerbelle, answered.

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