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.

She is about 20 years old and stands 14.1 hands tall. Paris is looking for the light and easy retired trail life and will require an intermediate rider to get her moving on her own. She prefers riding out on the trails vs. the arena but once you get her going she will go out on her own. While she needs a decent rider individually, she is more than happy to show your kiddos the ropes by ponying behind your trusty steed or by lead line.

​Info: DHOH “Veil” is available for adoption! This stunning 11 year old, 16 hand TB mare is a retiree from Cherokee Park Ranch. She was retired simply because Ranch life doesn’t suit her needs.... she is a hard keeper and a thin skinned mare. Even though she is great on the trails, pasture life is not for her. We are so proud to be working with this ranch that is so considerate of their horses’ needs. Veil is sound and well broke. She has a big stride and is a forward mover so for that reason she needs an intermediate rider.

​Required Rider: Intermediate rider, will need an Advanced handler
Weight Limit: 200 lbs
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.

​Info: This little girl is finally available for adoption. DHOH “Dakota” is a 5 year old, 13.2 hand, cob Connemara pony. She was saved at auction as a brand stray early in the year. She was a reactive little thing but always wanted to do the right thing. She was professionally started under saddle by Ruben Mendiola (60 days) and then her training continued at home with Jess Lyons. Dakota has graduated from the arena to the trails and is doing well! However, she needs a lot of miles... a lot of miles with a handy rider. She is athletic as they come and this pony can go in any direction whether it’s ranch work or jumping cross country or endurance. She is sound as a pound, ties, loads, etc. She needs to be in the right home for her and we believe we will know the right match when we see it.

​Info: We noticed a faint brand on our auction rescue "Nashville's" left hip which fueled the need to start digging.Nashville has been identified as “Elixir d’Avalon”, a 2013 site champion and Gold Premium rated Oldenburg gelding. He is a full brother to fully licensed and approved stallion “Edward Scissorhands d’Avalon. How does a horse of this caliber end up at a low end livestock auction like CLA? Absolutely mind boggling. He got lucky that’s for sure. And so did we... this horse is as sweet as the day is long. We are taking our time with this guy, he’s definitely a bit head shy. We will keep you updated on his progress!

HORSES IN REHABILITATION

LUNA

In Rehab

Profile:
Age: 22
Height: 14.3 hh
Gender: Mare
Breed: Peruvian Paso
​Required Rider: Coming Soon (kids horse)
Weight Limit: Coming Soon
Limitations/Maintenance: Coming Soon

Info: As soon as one horse leaves, another one arrives. This sweet girl arrived yesterday. It’s heartbreaking to look at her and at the same time we are thankful she is here with us. Her name is “Luna” and she is a 22 year old Peruvian Paso Mare. A great kid’s horse and has even taught a blind child to ride. She is the skinniest horse we have ever seen... literally a walking skeleton. But we can help her... and today she is already brighter than she was yesterday. Do we have any supporters out there that would like to sponsor this sweet girl whilst we bring her back to health? We estimate that it will cost about $350-400/month for her re-feeding program. We know the photos are going to make people angry and upset, and believe us, we are so, so disappointed that a horse would be let to get in this condition. But we are thankful she is here. She is the sweetest little girl!
