Xero

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Senior · 20 years

Xero is a 20 yr old TB who spent her career playing Polo , she was retired a couple of years ago and is now looking for a new home as a companion ….. and she really is a lovely companion to any horse / pony she is in with or near ….Xero is just under 16 h and easy to do most things with , she is a little wary of new people but once she gets to know you she is absolutely fine ….. she’s not a lady who likes a lot of fuss she really does like to spend her days living out 24 / 7 , just being a horse ….She’s good to load and travel , she’s been great with the farrier and with us grooming her and shedding her but she does NOT like being tied up …. This is quite a big hate of hers , she’s absolutely fine standing and being held though Xero was a little under weight when she came into us so will need a bit of extra attention in the winter like a lot of TB , to keep the weight on . If you live in Hampshire or the surrounding counties and would like to apply for Xero please pm or email us with an overview of your setup and experience , where you live and why you would like to adopt Xero . You will need to agree to a home check before adoption and again at 3 and 6 months , there is also an adoption agreement to sign , adoption fee, and we also take references ….💙💙

About Xero

What life with Xero looks like

Xero is a large senior mixed breed horse waiting at Hampshire Spirit Horse Rescue 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 Xero, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Xero?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Hampshire Spirit Horse Rescue handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Xero on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Xero 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 Hampshire Spirit Horse Rescue what paperwork and transport they require, and check the import rules of your country before you commit.
Is Xero 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 Hampshire Spirit Horse Rescue directly what is included and what Xero still needs.
What happens if Xero 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 Hampshire Spirit Horse Rescue early rather than rehoming privately; they know Xero 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.
