Adopt a Horse

Adopt a HorseAdopt a Horse From Us! 

We are in the process of updating this page. Please check back for more horses available for adoption.

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.

Adopt a mustang

 

Meet Cleo – A 10 year old Devil’s Garden Mustang

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 and we believe she is ready for a new chapter.

She walks nicely with a halter, 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 more gentling but with each day she makes progress. Quick to learn, she has settled into domestic life very well. She is quite sensitive, in a good way, and picks up on her handlers mood: whether you are calm or anxious, you will find it impossible to fool Cleo.

She is and is absolutely stunning to look at. She most certainly has some draft horse in her. DNA test pending.

Cleo’s handler spends a lot of time with her and the two have built a wonderful relationship based on trust, kindness and understanding. We would want the same for Cleo in a forever home.

Cleo will need a experienced person who has handled wild horses/mustangs successfully before. Please understand that if you are interested in adopting Cleo you 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.

Cleo’s Adoption Fee is $2000

 


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, pops into the trailer, wears a bareback page 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! If you are interested in Jamaal, please complete an application form and we will let you know as soon as he is ready.


ZiZi – Bay Mare Approximately 12 years old – $2500

ZiZi and Jen

 

Watch ZZ strutting her stuff on the Trail

If you are looking for a sturdy yet small trail pony ZiZi is your girl. She just loves the trails, is sure footed and powerful on hills. ZiZi looks to be a Connemara pony but we have not had her DNA tested.  ZiZi halters, leads, loads, picks up her feet, rides in a halter, bitless bridle or no-hands’ and she has such a sweet disposition.  She is approx. 14-years-old and would suit an intermediate to advanced rider. No children please, as while she is wonderful with children on the ground, she is a powerhouse. ZiZi does not much care for arena work. Please call Julia at 831-588-5198 or contact us. Click here if you would like to sponsor ZiZi’s continued care.
