Due to the sensitive nature of rescue work some of our horses are not listed on our website. Occasionally there are cases where photo ID will be requested in the beginning phases of adoption inquiries to ensure safe placement of our horses.
If you are interested in sponsoring or adopting any of the horses below, please contact us today!
BRAYTON
Breed: Appendix Quarter Horse Sex: Gelding Age: 20 Height: 15.2hh Color: Grey
Suitable for:
Disciplines: Trail Riding, Therapy - Non-Riding, Companion, English Pleasure, Western Pleasure
Adoption Fee: $1000
Brayton came to Horses Haven earlier this year with a few of his friends when his owner needed to rehome them. We have been slowly getting to know his personality and what training experience he has had.
He is a very well behaved equine citizen and is generally very easy to handle and work around. He is a good equine friend and personable to anyone he meets! We have lightly ridden him and he has done well! We think he would be great for light trail riding or some occasional arena work!
Brayton does have mild navicular and should have shoes with a wedge to manage this. He is serviceably sound as a light riding horse. He prefers to live outside but does ok stalled where he can see his friends. He is up to date on all of his vet and farrier care. All that is left is for Brayton to find the most perfect forever home!
CHICO
Breed: Other Sex: Gelding Age: 17 Height: 14.1hh Color: Chestnut
Suitable for: Experienced Horseperson/Trainer
Disciplines: Prospect for Any Discipline, Trail Riding
Adoption Fee: $1500
Chico has quickly become a farm favorite with his good looks and friendly personality! This blond haired beauty came to us from another ASPCA partner seeking more training oppurtunities for him. He was gelded a few months ago and before that enjoyed life as a stallion. This means Chico may never be able to be pastured with mares and his introduction to geldings should be done slowly.
We suspect that Chico has had very little formal training but so far he has been a willing participant! He enjoys attention, loves to be groomed and has accepted a rider. He can be difficult to handle from the ground when distracted but has improved with every training session. We will continue his training and cant wait to see what else this clever boy knows!
MILES
Breed: Standardbred Sex: Gelding Age: 3 Height: 15.0hh Color: Black
Suitable for: Experienced Horseperson/Trainer
Disciplines: Prospect for Any Discipline, Trail Riding
Adoption Fee: $1500
Miles is a sweet and playful young standardbred gelding. He has been very sensible when introduced to new things and would thrive under a consitent training program. Miles was not blessed with the best conformation in both hind limbs. He struts a less than ideal clubby hoof on one side and a not so straight lower leg on the other. With those details in mind, it will be very important that his adopter has a great and close relationship with their vet and farrier. Miles is sound and moves so beautifully! As he grows and continues his training, proper hoof trims and following recommendations from your vet will be vital in this boy being a long term riding partner!
Miles has just started some light training. He enjoys being groomed, picks up all four feet and is a gentleman to handle. He has learned how to lunge and wear tack. He has recently had his first sits with a rider and did great! His adopter will need to have experience training young horses or have the resources and consistent help in order to help his training be successful!
He currently lives in a herd of geldings. He was gelded earlier in 2024 and so he should be introduced to mares slowly and with caution.
PIPPY
Breed: Pony Sex: Mare Age: 2 Height: 13.1hh Color: Black
Suitable for: Experienced Horseperson/Trainer
Disciplines: Prospect for Any Discipline
Adoption Fee: $1500
Pippy was collected as a free roaming feral horse in December 2023. She has turned out to be just the sweetest little gaited mare. She has had extensive ground work and loves learning new things. She is very easy to handle and a joy to be around. Her friendly and eager personality will make her so much fun to finish as a riding horse next year!
Pippy has learned how to wear tack, lunge and stand for the farrier. She is up to date on all medical, dental and farrier care. Pippy will need an adopter with previous experience in starting horses or someone willing to put her in training with an experienced trainer. Please contact us if you are interested in meeting Pippy!
SHIRLEY
Breed: Grade Sex: Mare Age: 15 Height: 14.2hh Color: Bay
Suitable for:
Disciplines: Prospect for Any Discipline, Therapy - Non-Riding, Trail Riding, Companion
Adoption Fee: $1500
Shirley is one of our most mellow girls on the farm! She has the most beautiful chocolate colored coat and such soft eyes!
She has a somewhat interesting and partially unknown history but we are doing our best to tap into her potential and see what she knows!
So far, she has been accepting and seems familiar with tack. She is good for the farrier/vet and enjoys being groomed.
Undersaddle...Shirley is all whoa and zero go! She has been the best lead line performer we have ever had the pleasure of trying out!
As soon as a handler walks away from her, she has zero desire to move forward with a rider on her. With all this said, throughout our training sessions, she still remains as pleasant as can be! With her pleasant attitude and carefree way of going, we think she is going to excel quickly!
Shirley is up to date on all her medical, farrier and dental needs.
