Adoptable Horses
We are scheduling adoption appointments for: Saturdays ~ May 11th, 18th, 25th; June 15th & July 6th, 13th 2024
How to adopt from Love this Horse:
1. Email us for an application at love.this.horse.equine.rescue@gmail.com or message us on social media with your email address.
2. We will review the application and reach out to meet up an appointment to meet/ride the horse(s) you are interested in.
3. We ask for a $50 donation for the adoption appointment, payable prior to the appointment via PayPal.me/lovethishorse or Venmo @lovethishorse
The $50 will be applied to the adoption fee, if you find a match.
4. Come for an adoption appointment (please do not bring your dog(s) to the ranch without talking to us first. We have rescue dogs at the ranch and we have to lock them up if you bring your dog(s).) Meet/ride the horse(s) you are interested in adopting. We are focused on a good rider/horse match because we want permanent homes for our adopted horses. Therefore, we often ask potential adopters to ride our most reliable horse Sharif on trail, along with the horse you are interested in. Then we switch over and we accompany you while you are riding the horse you are interested in.
5. If one of the horses is a match, you as a rider and he/she as your preference, we ask you to pay the adoption fee*, via check, PayPal (+2.5% for the PayPal fees) or Venmo. This adoption fee is held in escrow until the adoption is finalized.
6. We will check your references, see where the horse will live. You fill out the adoption contract.
7. We welcome PPEs, but they have to be done prior to the adopted horse leaving to your home. We have several veterinary options for pre-purchase exams.
8. You bring your horse home with you!
* If you meet a horse that is not quite ready for adoption yet, we offer the "Dibs Program". You pay half of the adoption fee of the horse as a deposit. This deposit is refundable pending the completion of his/her training. Once the horse completes training, you come back to ride the horse and we assess if the horse continues to be a match under saddle with you. If the horse is not a match, the deposit is refundable.
If we have pedigree papers for the horse, those will come with the horse.
We have a 30-day-trial period for each adopted horse where the horse can be returned for a partial refund. As mentioned above, we want permanent homes for our adopted horses, thus we want a good match.
We do adopt to out-of-state homes, however, we require the potential adopters to come to our rescue to meet and ride the horse(s) they are interested in adopting. We are looking for good matches. We do not believe that a good match can be made without meeting and riding the horse in person.

Da Prestige ahr*653894DA Prestige is a Versace and Pardons Psyche granddaughter that stands 15.3h tall and is very athletic and has a good head on her shoulders. We started her under saddle in November 2023 and she is conditioning for her first endurance ride on March 16th at the Western Mojave XP Ride.. Prestige has presented as calm and confident on trail and really seems to enjoy being out on trail.
We rescued her in March 2023 from a loose horse auction in WA state and identified her using DNA testing. Unfortunately, her registered owner refuses to sign over her registration paper. She was barely halter broke and we used clicker training which Prestige positively responded to. Prestige is UTD on her immunizations, worming, is healthy and sound.

PepperPepper is a lovely Arabian mare who is easy to ride and loves to please her person. Pepper enjoys arena riding and trail riding. She lives in a paddock with other mares and gets along well with them.

Daisy is very sweet, loves going on trail and loves attention. She is a half-Arabian Ghost Paint. Her skin is black and white.

ravenwood qahsahr ahr*626879RAVENWOOD QAHSAHR “Katar” is a mellow riding horse. He came to us as a stallion and was gelded. He has adjusted well to gelding life and gets along with other geldings in a group setting. Even as a stallion, he was mellow and had been ridden by a child in arena lessons. Now as a gelding, he is even more easy going. He had been owned by a trainer who was getting older and felt that Kazar was still young enough now to find a great riding home. He wanted to see Kazar ridden in endurance rides, LD or longer distances.
