Womble2017 | Skewbald | Gypsy Cob | Under 12.2hhWe would really like to be in a position to respond to incidents just like the one that brought us to help Womble and Cheyenne.We believe that helping other charities to protect horses and ponies, no matter what the circumstances, is key to dealing with animal welfare issues most effectively.Your sponsorship of Womble means we will be able to continue to do that – thank you!The story so far...Back in 2017 we were called by one of the RSPCA Animal Welfare Officers asking for help to catch two foals running wild on playing fields in County Durham.The area was wide open and adjacent to a busy road and one of the two foals was particularly flighty.We decided to take catch pens and also a decoy – which can be very helpful in situations like this.The decoy – one of our Shetlands ‘Amazon’, worked a treat.Despite initial mad dashes for freedom, we applied a bit of patience and some careful planning, which led to the round up taking us less than an hour.We named the two ponies Womble and Cheyenne and thankfully their condition was fairly good.No owner ever came forward and the wayward girls duly spent time growing and learning to live life aro

About Womble

What life with Womble looks like

Womble is a 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 Womble, answered.

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