Adoptions

Adopt a Horse or Donkey

We do not have horses or donkeys available for adoption right now, by choice: we will not place a horse until we can prepare them properly. Adoption is part of what we do, and when an animal is ready and suited to the right home, it is by application, with a contract that brings them back to us if your circumstances ever change.

The process

How adoption works

How it works

When adoption is open: apply, then meet and match with the right animal, and complete an adoption contract. We help you find a good fit.

Who can adopt

Vetted, equine-experienced homes that can provide proper care, space, and a lifelong commitment.

Our promise

If you ever cannot keep them, they come back to us, or we vet and approve any new home. They are never at risk.

Good to know

Frequently asked

Is every horse available to adopt?

Not all. Some live out their retirement with us; those suited to a new home are placed with vetted adopters when the time is right.

What is the return policy?

Every adoption includes a contract: if you can no longer keep the horse, they return to us or we approve any new home.

How do I start?

Adoption is not open right now, and we have none available. If you would like us to reach out when that changes, share your details below. There is no waitlist.
