Our horses range in age and ability from young and competitive sport horses, to older quiet trail-mounts. Some of our horses have special needs, but most just had an unfortunate run of bad luck and need a new change at a loving forever home. Our efforts are supported solely by donations, adoption fees, sponsorship and A LOT of volunteer sweat.

Our horses are categorized as appropriate for beginner riders (rider who is new around equines, comfortable at a walk and maybe a trot), intermediate riders (rider who is comfortable at all gaits, can handle equines in various situations and environments), and advanced riders (rider who is comfortable handling difficult or green equines in various situations and environments). We also have several horses that are not rideable, but would be great companion horses, as well as young soon-to-be started horses and a few in rehabilitation! Make sure to check back with us frequently for updates on available horses. We do our best to keep the available horse adoption gallery up to date as changes occur.

Horses may be visited by appointment only. Please contact us to schedule a time to come meet them. You will need to have filled out an Adoption Application prior to making an appointment.

BEGINNER RIDER/KID HORSES AVAILABLE

J.R.

Available for Adoption
​
Profile:
Age: 20
Height: 16 hh

​Required Rider: Intermediate/Advanced beginner rider
Weight Limit: 190lbs
Limitations/Maintenance: Daily equioxx, wears wedged front shoes (not 100% sound) & has a calcium deposit in his right eye (requires eye medication)

Info: This guy is just so awesome that we are already going to start looking for his forever home. DHOH “J.R.” Is a registered, 16 hand, 20 year old, spotted saddle horse gelding. He is a pleasure to be around and a pleasure to ride and he gaits nicely. He does have some arthritis, is currently on daily equioxx and has padded front shoes, meaning he is not 100% sound. He would do well in a light riding home and is best suited (of course) for the trails. This is a nice horse. We have him listed as intermediate/advanced beginner because he can be slightly pushy on the ground.

Adoption fee: $700

​Required Rider: Intermediate rider, will need an Advanced handler
Weight Limit: 200lbs
Limitations/Maintenance: N/A

Info: Have you always dreamed of a Gaited horse? How about a half draft? Paint?
Well, here is your chance to have all three in one horse! DHOH “Clover” is officially available for adoption. This 18 year old, 16 hand mare is a Gaited shire cross. She is well broke and is great under saddle. To be honest, being on her back is better than handling her from the ground as she is a bit pushy. She is good for the farrier and all that good stuff. Clover has a sarcoid on her girth kind that we are treating... so hence the bareback riding currently! Good thing is.... she’s great to ride bareback! Clover is sound and needs to be with an experienced horse person to handle her on the ground.

Adoption fee: $1,000
