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 adopting any of the horses below, please contact us today!
ACE
Breed: Morgan Sex: Gelding Foaled: 1999 Age: 21 Height: 14.3hh
Suitable for: Walk/trot/canter trail or arena work for an intermediate to advanced rider
Personality/History: Ace came to Horses' Haven at the request of the Michigan Horse Welfare Coalition, and we were of course happy to come to his rescue! Ace had been ridden in the past but had several years off prior to coming to Horses’ Haven. He had only been ridden bitless, as his training progressed we tried a double break snaffle and he gradually accepted the bit. He is very animated and easily distracted but is staying focused on training longer each time. Ace has a comical personality and is fun to work with but we are still working on good manners. He is great for grooming, tacking, and mounting. Due to his previous living situation he tends to get buddy sour and is a little controlling of his equine friends out in the pasture.

AUSTIN
Breed: Quarter Horse Sex: Gelding Foaled: 1997 Age: 23 Height: 15hh
Suitable for: Walk/trot/canter light trail rides for intermediate riders and up
Limitations/Maintenance: History of right stifle injury but is now sound for light riding.
Personality/History: Austin is a very nice ride and can be ridden western and English. He enjoys spending time with people and is very easy going. He did have a history of pushy behavior on the ground, so although under saddle he is good for a more beginner rider, he will do best with a more confident handler for tacking and groundwork.

NORA
Breed: Thoroughbred Sex: Mare Foaled: 2010 Age: 10 Height: 16.2hh
Limitations/Maintenance: Nora is currently being treated for cankers in her back hooves.
Adoption status: Currently not available for adoption until her medical issues are resolved.
Personality/History: Nora (Northern Tour) raced locally for 4 years before being retired to be a riding horse. Nora arrived at Horses’ Haven with a severe injury to her right knee which took many months and a trip down to Rood and Riddle equine hospital in Kentucky for surgery. Surgery was successful and she was on her way to recovery. Once she was fully healed she began her rehabilitation to gain better mobility. Nora was then approved for work under saddle and we’ve had a few amazing rides on her. She is very easy to groom and tack, lunges well and is a very willing horse under saddle.
