New beginnings start here.

We take the words "new beginnings" seriously. Our mission is to provide all rescued equines with new beginnings and productive lives with loving, adoptive families.

If you are interested in adopting one of our available horses, donkey, or mules, please complete the Adoption Application below. A member of our adoption team will review your information and start looking for the best matches based on your preferences. You’ll also receive an email from us with additional information on our adoption process. Please do not visit our ranch to meet equines without an appointment.

BASIC ADOPTION REQUIREMENTS and steps

Adoption fees vary and are based on the training, health and age of each equine.
Each adopted equine must have shelter.
We require each equine have a companion, preferably another equine but other livestock will be considered.
Once you select a possible equine(s) for consideration, you’ll be added to their interest list. You’ll then schedule an appointment with our trainers to visit the ranch and meet the eligible equines. Learn more about the entire process here.
If you and our trainers agree to a successful equine match, we’ll schedule an inspection of your facility. If everything looks good, you’ll complete an adoption agreement.
Ownership is then transferred to you and you get to take your lucky equine home!
