Adopt a Horse
Adopting a horse is a meaningful, long‑term commitment, and we’re grateful you’re considering opening your home to one of ours. Our goal is to make thoughtful, responsible matches that set both horses and adopters up for long‑term success.
Before completing your application, please consider whether you have:
-
Safe, appropriate fencing and shelter for a horse
- The ability to provide ongoing care, including feed, farrier services, routine veterinary care, and vaccinations
-
The time, patience, and willingness to continue learning—many horses come with unique histories and ongoing training or management needs
-
Openness to communication and support during the transition period
What to Expect After You Apply
Once your application is submitted, our team will review it carefully. We may follow up with questions, request additional information, or schedule a conversation to ensure the best possible match. This process helps us understand your experience, facilities, and goals—and helps ensure each horse is placed in a safe, appropriate, and supportive environment.
As part of our commitment to protecting horses long‑term, adopted horses may not be sold, sent to auction, or transferred into any situation that could put them at risk. If an adopter’s circumstances change, we require that the horse be returned to or rehomed in coordination with 3 Sisters Equine Refuge. Our priority is always the lifelong safety and well‑being of the horse.
We’re here to support successful, lasting placements—and we’re happy to answer questions along the way.
