The Application Process is easy...

The Adoption Process

Applications can often be processed within a few days.

 SRF’s goal is to make a great match for you and the horse so you can both share a lifetime of enjoyment together.

Submit:

  • An application and Adoption/Caregiver Contract, available below, by fax, mail, or email.
  • Include a $25 non-refundable application fee.
  • Photos are required for the process.

Approval:

  • Adopters must be over 18 years old.
  • Adopters must have sufficient horse care knowledge to adopt.
  • Decisions are based on the applicant's horse knowledge, honesty, safety of the facility, references (non relative), and photographs.
  • Once approved, we will begin profiling a list of horses we think will suit your desire.

Terms:

  • If you plan to board your horse a lien release must be signed by the boarding facility. It can be accessed below, faxed or mailed to you.
  • Shipping is your responsibility.
  • SRF asks for an adoption donation which varies on the horse. Generally this is between $350-$750.
  • An adoption donation is not expected for "Pasture Mates" or “Companion” horses.
  • Part of the agreement is your willingness to comply with having your veterinarian complete the Veterinarian Follow -up Form which is mailed to you semi-annually at the time of spring and fall inoculations. Veterinarians do not charge extra to complete this form. This information helps us to assure each adopted horse is in a safe home.
  • Horses adopted from SRF can never be bred, used for embryo transfer, raced, sold, used for commercial purposes, or given away. We are looking for lifetime homes. If for some unforeseen reason an adopter can no longer provide good care for the horse, the horse must be returned to SRF.

SRF is a 501 c 3 non-profit organization founded in 1989. Donations are tax-deductible and the source of funds for operation.

We presently have more than 120 horses looking for a good home, and another 79 pasture mates - companion only horses that cannot be ridden due to age or physical limitations.  They would also love a home with you!
