Baze

Male · Senior · 18 years

Shadow, born in 2008 according to his passport, has lived with me since 2014. He was originally sold to me as a children's pony. It is believed he came from Ireland to Thuringia via Holland to a dealer in 2014. It quickly became clear that Shadow is a troubled soul. He has not allowed himself to be haltered. He has an unbelievable fear of men and especially of a whip. Blacksmithing is still a trauma for him today. The sound of a cable tie still triggers fear and the flight instinct in him. He has been a horse with me for 12 years. He is very sensitive, and even after 12 years with me, he does not really trust humans. However, he knows groundwork. He enjoys walking on a lead and is very sweet during these times. As a farrier, we have a woman and that works great. He is very happy when food comes and runs as soon as you come out of the feed room. All in all, he is a loving soul. He has never been mean or gone against humans. Bolero is a Polish warmblood and is 21, blind in one eye. He copes very well with this and has no limitations. He came to me in 2021. According to the previous owner, he stood in a box for years and was at Apassionata. He always stands at the hay rack and rarely takes a break. Before he came to the previous owner, he must have lived in Poland. I do not know anything else about him. But it is also noticeable with him that something did not go well. He took a very long time to get along with the other two (over two years). It even seemed to me that he did not know how to behave socially with other horses. As soon as they approached him, he fled headlong. He does not understand grooming. Bolero is a super sweet horse. Since he has been with us, he has not been ridden. He also likes to go for walks and is very sweet during these times. Blacksmithing is not what he likes to do. He just stands there and freezes. With a lot of effort, gentleness, and treats, you can also get him to participate. I wish for end places where they can grow old together.

– VERMITTLUNGSHILFE – Shadow geb. laut Pass 2008. Er lebt seit 2014 bei mir. Wurde mir damals als Kinderpony verkauft. Es kam 2014 wahrscheinlich aus Irland über Holland nach Thüringen zu einem Händler. Es stellte sich schnell heraus, dass Shadow eine geschundene Seele ist. Er hat sich nicht halftern lassen. Hat unfassbare Angst vor Männern gehabt und ganz besonders Angst vor eine Gerte. Hufschmiede sind bis heute ein Trauma für ihn. Das Geräusch eines Kabelbinders löst bis heute Angst und den Fluchtinstinkt in ihm aus. Er ist bei mir einfach Pferd seit 12 Jahren. Er ist sehr sensibel, er vertraut auch nach 12 Jahren bei mir, dem Menschen nicht so wirklich. Er kennt aber bodenarbeit. Geht gern spazieren am Strick und ist dabei super lieb. Als Hufschmied haben wir eine Frau und das funktioniert super. Er freut sich sehr wenn seit Futter kommt und brunmelt sobald man aus der futterkammer kommt. Alles im allem, ist er eine liebevolle Seele. Noch nie böse gewesen oder gegen den Menschen gegangen. Bolero ist ein polnisches Warmblut und ist 21, auf einem Auge blind. Er kommt damit super zurecht und hat keinerlei Einschränkungen, Er kam 2021 zu mir. Er stand laut Vorbesitzerin jahrelang in einer Box und soll bei Apassionata gewesen sein. Er steht immer an der Heuraufe und macht selten eine Pause. Er muss, bevor er zur Vorbesitzerin kam, in Polen gelebt haben. Weiteres weiß ich über ihn nicht. Aber auch bei ihm merkt man, dass etwas nicht ganz schön gelaufen ist. Er hat sehr lange gebraucht, um mit den beiden anderen zurecht zu kommen (über zwei Jahre). Es kam mir sogar so vor, dass er das Sozialverhalten mit anderen Pferden nicht kannte. Sobald sie auf ihn zugekommen sind, ist er Kopflos geflüchtet. Er hat keine Fellpflege verstanden. Bolero ist ein super liebes Pferd. Er wird seitdem er bei uns ist eigentlich auch nicht mehr geritten. Er geht auch gern spazieren und ist dabei super lieb. Schmiedefromm. Bodenarbeit ist nicht das was er gerne macht. Er bleibt dabei einfach stehen und friert ein. Mit viel Mühe, Sanftheit und Leckerli kann man ihn aber auch dazu bewegen mitzumachen. Ich wünsche mir Endplätze wo sie zusammen alt werden dürfen.

About Baze

What life with Baze looks like

Baze is a senior horse waiting at Equiluna e.V. in Germany.

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 Germany

German rescues typically require an in-person home visit (Vorkontrolle) or detailed video home check before approving adoption. Animals leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with a valid EU pet passport. Adoption fees usually fall between €250 and €450, covering veterinary preparation.

Frequently asked

Adopting Baze, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Baze?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Equiluna e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Baze on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Baze if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Equiluna e.V. 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. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Baze 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 Baze 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 Equiluna e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Baze 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 (DE). 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.
