Horses Available for Adoption

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, specifically can post the trot, and 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. Please note we rarely adopt horses out of state because we do require home checks and a riding evaluation of the horse you're interested in adopting.

Info: DHOH “Rosen” has finished her evaluations and is available for adoption! Rosen is a 22 year old grade mare and is 15.2 hands tall. She is a little sway backed. We have ridden her in the indoor arena, outdoor arena and out on the trails. She did great on the trails but got a little jiggy turning back to go home. Nothing major though and she seemed to enjoy being out there. She would suit an adv beginner rider because she can be a bit forward. She requires no special maintenance at this point

Goose is looking for a gentle, well balanced and quiet rider to putz around the trails on. He's even up for some fun light arena work!

Info: We couldn’t be more impressed by DHOH “Dime” as she progresses through her evaluation! This sweet gal had her right eye removed at CSU and has recovered beautifully! She has an incredible head on her shoulders and impeccable ground manners - such great ground manners that a 9 year old caught, led, groomed, and loved on her with ease! She’s quickly become a barn favorite - we’re so proud of her! Oh…and did we mention she’s only 4 years old? She’s such a special girl with such a bright future ahead! She is green broke so we will be looking for someone who is wanting to put more miles on her

ROYAL

Available for Adoption
​
Profile:
Age: ~15
Height: 15 hh
Gender: Gelding
Breed: Grade

​Required Rider: Intermediate
Weight Limit: 175 lbs
Limitations/Maintenance: Front shoes

​Info: ​​DHOH “Royal” is available for adoption! We have been riding this guy and figuring out what he likes and what he doesn’t like. What he really likes to be ridden English, and better yet… he likes to be ridden like a hunter (half seat). Quiet seat, quiet hands is the ticket to this guy! Blue roan, sound, hunter-jumper prospect anyone? Royal is a little guy (roughly 15 hands) and is 15 years old. He is sound. He can be a little shy if you move too quickly around him but has really become more confident and trusting since he has been here. He’s great in the arena and on the trails and has been nothing but a perfect gentleman.

Adoption Fee: $1,500
