The equines shown on this page are available for adoption. The first step in the adoption process is to fill out an Adoption Application. If your application is approved, we will follow up with a barn visit to check on the physical environment in which you intend to keep the equine.

Our primary goal is to match an equine with the most appropriate person. We do not operate on a "first come, first served" basis.

Adoption fees will vary and are determined at the time of adoption. The fees are based upon an equine's age, condition, level of training and other factors determined by our Board of Directors. Our goal here is to make the adoption affordable, but we do need to be able to take in some funds to help us continue our mission.
