Given his new lease of life that would be no surprise!We would always like to be in a position to respond at terribly sad times just like this one, in order to help, no matter what the circumstances. Your monthly gift means we will be able to continue to do just that. Please sponsor Zeus if you can – and thank you!The story so far...Zeus came to us to retire recently (September 2023), following the very sad death of our wonderful Chair and Founding Trustee, Claire Robinson.She would never admit to favourites but Zeus was undeniably special and had been with Claire for the greater part of his life.Prior to her ownership, he had an illustrious career taking several young people to the Pony Club Championships with great success.In his youth Zeus was a keen follower of hounds and excelled in WHP classes at local shows.He could literally turn a hoof to anything asked of him and in later years he ticked even more boxes, qualifying with several different jockeys, for the RDA Championships.Typical of most greys, he had a sense of hu

About Zeus

What life with Zeus looks like

Zeus 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 Zeus, answered.

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