At Haven Equestrian Outreach, we are dedicated to finding loving forever homes for our rescued horses. Our adoption process is designed to ensure that both the horse and the adopter are well-matched for a successful and fulfilling partnership. Here’s a step-by-step guide to our adoption procedures:

Step 1: Browse Available Horses

Begin by exploring our available horses. Each listing includes a photo, description, and information about the horse's background, personality, and specific needs.

Step 2: Submit an Adoption Application

Once you find a horse you’re interested in, complete our adoption application form. This form helps us understand your experience, preferences, and the environment you can provide for the horse.

Step 3: Application Review

Our team will review your application to ensure that your experience and the horse’s needs align. We may reach out to you for additional information or clarification.

Step 4: Meet and Greet

If your application is approved, we’ll schedule a meet-and-greet with the horse. This is a crucial opportunity for you to interact with the horse and assess if it’s a good fit for your lifestyle and goals.

Step 5: Home Visit

If you and the horse connect well, we may conduct a home visit to evaluate your facilities and ensure they are safe and suitable for the horse. This step is essential to confirm that the horse will be well-cared for in its new home.

Step 6: Adoption Agreement

Once everything is in order, you’ll sign an adoption agreement. This agreement outlines your commitment to the horse’s care, including provisions for veterinary care, feed, shelter, and overall well-being.

Step 7: Adoption Fee

An adoption fee will be required to help cover the costs associated with the horse’s care and rehabilitation. The fee varies depending on the horse and will be discussed during the process.

Step 8: Follow-Up

After the adoption, we will check in with you periodically to see how you and your new horse are adjusting. We’re here to support you and ensure a successful transition for both you and the horse.
