Adoption Information

We don't usually have ready to rodeo or show horses, nor is there anything called a FREE horse. There is a wait list for a perfect "kid broke/bomb-proof horse". If you are adopting a young horse, PMU foal, BLM or wild/untrained horse you must have approved housing/fencing/stalls and EXPERIENCE with horses!

Adoption Fees

Adoption fees will range...more for a well-trained or registered horse, less for young, disabled or special needs horses. Average fee is $750. We are totally funded by donations and have huge costs with rehabilitating, feeding, and training these horses. We do not receive any government or state funding. We do not rent horses or provide horses for events. We prefer that you own and live on the same property where the horse is kept. In most cases we will remain the co-owner for the life of the horse so that it may never be resold or given away.

Things To Consider

Please consider the following: Horses can be very expensive. Other than the initial cost of stalls and fencing, there is the ongoing cost of insurance, worming, shots, farrier bills, hay, feed, medications, supplements, training, and hundreds of items that you will eventually need to purchase. At some point you will probably be faced with a large vet bill. Like people, horses can seriously injure themselves or get very sick. One case of colic can cost you over $5,000, with no guarantee that he will live through it. We expect you to have the financial ability to handle these costs.
