Adopt a Horse From Us!
Welcome to our horse adoption page! Thank you for considering adopting instead of buying. When you adopt from us, not only are you offering a horse who may have had a poor start in life a loving home, but you free up space at our small horse rescue center for more horses or ponies in need. In addition we rehabilitate and train our horses before we allow them to be adopted to ensure they are ready for a new family!
We couldn’t continue our work without people like you! We work with other local horse rescue facilities so some of the horses below may not be housed at our Canham Farm Horse Rescue, Rehabilitation and Horse Training Center.

Cleo – Devil’s Garden Mustang From Forest Service Round up – $1000
Meet Cleo, a 10+ Year old Devil’s Garden Mustang Rounded up by the United States Forest Service. Pregnant when she arrived at our facility, she gave birth to a beautiful colt who has since been adopted. Cleo has been gentled by us with some help from Ray Berta (photo). She is halter trained, picks up her feet and has worn a bareback pad. She is very smart and sweet, and despite her inital fear has adapted very well to life as a domestic horse. Cleo needs a lot more gentling until she is ready to be ridden or could just be a pasture pet. She is respectful of her handlers and is absolutely stunning to look at. She most certainly has some draft horse in her. Cleo will need a experienced person who has handled wild horses/mustangs successfully before. Please understand that if you are interested in adopting Cleo we will need you to demonstrate your expertise in handling wild horses, and a rigorous vetting program will be put in place. We want to protect our wild horse rescues and keep them safe from brokers and other unscrupulous horse traders.
Upcoming – Jamaal a wild foal captured by the Arizona Forest Service
Although Jamaal isn’t quite ready for adoption yet he has amazing potential. He already pops his head into the halter, leads nicely, gets his hooves trimmed and loves to be groomed. He has a long way to go but we are hopeful he will find a forever home in the near future. His adoption price will be determined on his progress. He is also a mischief maker and this video will show you how much fun he is!
Willow- A Captured Mustang and Mustang Makeover Competitor
Meet Willow, our new intake initially housed by the SPCA of Monterey after she was removed from her home due to a hoarding situation. Willow is quite an interesting horse as it is hard to know much about her past. She clearly has had training but is fearful of some humans and physically shth ook when the farrier went to do her back feet. What we do know is that she was born in 2013 and at some point was entered into the Mustang Makeover where she took second place. What we don’t know is whether that was under saddle or in hand, youth or adult division. She has a very kind temprement and huge soft eyes but something has happened to her and we don’t know what that is. She may have been roughly handled but we will probable never know. She is certainly a horse that will need someone who uses gentle training methods.

ZiZi – Bay Mare Approximately 12 years old – $1000
ZiZi looks to be a Connemara pony. She was a confiscation from an abuse case. Zizi found it hard to trust humans, and it’s my belief that she had been treated badly in the past. Our chiropractor adjusted her a while ago and found her poll to be out. She has likely had a headache and eyesight problems for a while. . ZiZi halters, leads, loads, picks up her feet and is doing really well under saddle. She is approx. 12-years-old. Please call Julia at 831-588-5198 or contact us.
