ADOPT A HORSE
All adoptable horses are placed in long term homes with an ADOPTION AGREEMENT. Please be prepared to provide references, and have your facilities inspected by the rescue's owner. We also prefer that you spend some time with the horse you are interested in adopting to be sure that it is a good match.
S.S.S. has the right to refuse adoption to any party due to financial inability, improper facilities, limited horse knowledge, etc....
All adoption fees are used not only to cover the costs of caring for our rescues, but also to help other neglected, abused, and needy horses in the future. Horses are a heavy financial burden. If you cannot afford our adoption fee, then more than likely you cannot afford the costs associated with caring for that horse for the rest of its life. Please keep this in mind when inquiring about our adoptable horses.
We are not horse traders. We will not allow you to take the horse home on your first visit unless previous arrangements have been made and adoption has been approved, so please leave your trailers at home.
All colts will be gelded prior to leaving our location, and all mares come with a NO BREEDING clause in their Adoption Agreement.
Get your Adoption Application in NOW, so that you can be pre-approved when your dream horse comes through or is ready to be placed.

 Tony The "Tank"
2002 Halflinger Gelding. Very gentle, great with the kids. Can be lazy. Also cart trained. Would be an excellent family horse, nothing phases him, never spooks.

  Commanders Ground Control (HHP Aire Command x I Can I Am)
1993 ASHA registered bay mare. Injury forces her to be placed in a "light riding" home only. G.C. was used as an endurance horse before she became a broodmare. She will only be placed in a single horse family, as she does not get along with other horses. Safe fencing a must. When not around other horses, this mare has a sweet temperment, loves people, and loves to be doted over. Very easy keeper. Want a nice pasture pet....this may be your girl
