Adoption Application

Dear Potential Adopter:

• Please note that there is a non-refundable $10 processing fee for each submitted application. We accept cash or check and you can pay online with Paypal.
• If you are serious about adopting, please fill out the following form, even if you do not see the horse you would like. This is so we have your application once you do choose a horse, and it makes for a quicker process.
• We do not hold horses while applications are being approved. The horse you may want may be adopted while you wait for your application to be approved.
• We are committed to finding suitable homes for each horse, as well as a horse suited to your needs. This lessens the potential for disappointment on both ends.
• The adoption fee must be paid in full before a horse will be held. In which case the adopter will have 7 days to pick up said horse. After 7 days there will be a $12 per day charge for board.
• If you have having trouble finding a shipper, ask us and we can provide you with the name and phone number of one of our recommended shippers.
