Adopt Ziggy

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Young · 2 years

Ziggy has been with us at the shelter since January 2019. As a very young horse, he was ridden intensively with a lot of pressure and incorrect equipment. Therefore, he finds it difficult to comply with the will of a trainer. His previous owner wanted to give Zayin a good future but decided two years after purchasing to move to the Netherlands. Ziggy then came to us. At our shelter, we consciously work little with the horses and donkeys, so they can simply be a horse or donkey after everything they have experienced. We like to walk and swim with him in a playful way, without high demands or weight on their backs. Ziggy is a bit mischievous and will always try to sneak some leaves. You can see his lots of energy when you watch him rolling in the water during walks. He loves to play and to run freely in the paddock paradise at our shelter. He is always curious and wants to know what's happening at the shelter. (See also the arrival of the pigs in the photos).

Ziggy Ziggy is sinds januari 2019 bij ons op de opvang. Als heel jong paard is hij intensief bereden met veel druk en verkeerde hulpmiddelen . Hij kan daarom erg lastig omgaan met opgelegde wil van een trainer. Zijn vorige eigenaar wilde Zayin een fijne toekomst geven maar besloot 2 jaar na de aankoop naar Nederland te verhuizen. Ziggy is toen bij ons terecht gekomen. Bij ons op de opvang wordt er bewust weinig gewerkt met de paarden en ezels, om ze gewoon lekker paard of ezel te laten zijn na alles wat ze hebben meegemaakt. We gaan graag wandelen en zwemmen met hem op een speelse manier, zonder hoge eisen of last op hun rug. Ziggy is wel een beetje ondeugend en zal altijd proberen om stiekem blaadjes te snoepen. Hij heeft veel energie dat merk je wel als je hem tijdens de wandelingen in het water ziet rollebollen. Hij vindt het heerlijk om te spelen en om los rond te rennen in het paddock-paradise op onze opvang. Hij is altijd nieuwsgierig en wil weten wat er allemaal gebeurt op de opvang. (zie ook de komst van de varkens bij de foto's).

About Ziggy

What life with Ziggy looks like

Ziggy is a large young adult mixed breed horse waiting at Stichting Pippi in Netherlands.

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 Netherlands

Dutch shelters typically require a household assessment and an adoption contract. Animals are routinely sterilized, microchipped, and registered in the national pet database (NDG) before placement.

Frequently asked

Adopting Ziggy, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Ziggy?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Stichting Pippi handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Ziggy on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Ziggy if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Stichting Pippi 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 Ziggy 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 Ziggy 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 Stichting Pippi early rather than rehoming privately; they know Ziggy 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 (NL). 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.
