Must be 18 years or older and must be adopting for themselves or their immediate family. No surprises and not as gifts for other people. 

We have a no breeding clause.

Mares and jennies will not be adopted to a home with stallions or uncastrated jacks.

Gelding will occur before adoption.

We ask for several references as well as a vet reference for any equine or other pets you have.  If you do not have horses yet, you will need to have the Vet name and number that you have confirmed will come to your area or have a way to transport in an emergency. 

You must have a farrier or have one lined up before adopting. 

Miniatures must be kept in predator proof livestock fencing. Barbed wire, electric fence and board fence without woven wire will not be approved. 

We do request pictures or videos sent to us after application approval: we are looking for safe fencing, access to shelter, fresh water source and limited pasture.

Miniatures cannot be housed with full sized horses. 

Minis will be adopted in pairs unless the new family already has a mini.

All equines are fully vetted before adoption. This includes vaccines, dental floats, farrier care, castration, required surgeries and worming. 

Adoption fees may vary but are normally $400 for a single ponies (over 40"), miniature horses, and miniature donkeys. We do reduce adoption fees for pairs $750 and trios $950

Since we do not have the history on all mares they can occasionally be pregnant when adopted. The foal must be adopted after birth (there is no fee for this) or returned to the rescue when weaned. Male foals must be castrated before maturity, normally at 6 months.
