Again, below are important requirements, please read carefully before you fill out the form:

1. Please write on a separate sheet an outline of your horse experience.

2. Should you want to re-sell the horse, we would like to reserve first choice to buy it back or, as a very important aspect of our placement efforts, be notified of the horse's destination.

3. Due to the many unwanted horses in Canada, we ask that you do not breed your mare (please refer to the statistics and breeding considerations address in various studies. Links are on our website).

4. None of the young horses should be started under saddle before the age of three in order to allow healthy and sufficient development of their skeletal system.

5. Adopted horses must be provided with a healthy living environment, regular veterinary care, hoof care, and proper feeding.

6. No horsepulling, please!


Assistance:

If, in the future, you encounter problems or have questions regarding illnesses, behavioral issues, training, hoof ailments, barn design, or pasture management, please contact us. As an ongoing program of The Hoof Beat, we will provide free seminars addressing all these subjects as well as assist you individually if needed.


Applicants under the age of 18 must include a statement of financial responsibility signed
and dated by the parent or guardian.

COST: The sum of $1,000.00 includes the pre-adoption fee of the horse, transport to the
foster farm, feed and care at primary delivery destination.


SPONSOR A HORSE: To sponsor a horse, you may make a donation of any amount, which is
at this time not tax deductable. Your contribution will help us to rescue a horse. Rescued
horses will be transported to Nova Scotia at the expense of THE HOOF BEAT. The horses
will be cared for until we can find adoptive homes.
