Angel Acres provides an excellent adoption program that benefits both horse and adopter!
A brief description of our program is below.
A horse, usually a Thoroughbred, is purchased from the kill buyer, a Coggins test is immediately pulled at the sale.
The horse is then transported to our quarantine facility,
where he or she is boarded for minimum of 30 days. He or she is then transported to our training facility.
At the training farm each horse receives his or her vetting, shots, teeth exam and floating if needed.
The horse is then visited by our Blacksmith for his or her tootsie check, and then its off to the main farm.
Each horse then receives a minimum 30 days training (usually 60 days) in addition to ground work,
and their prior track training, etc.
Our prices average from $2000 to $3000 with the $1 program (more info to follow shortly)
We run the rescue like a business, we need to be solvent in order to save more horses.
We run an above board, transparent rescue and pride ourselves on our honesty and integrity.
We do NOT deal with broker horses, we feel this blurs the line between horses truly in need of assistance
and those horses being sold for a commission to the seller/web site hoster.
We write for grants, hold fundraisers, and have adoption fees, etc.
Additionally, our adoption fees include the price to save another horse from the kill buyer/slaughter house.
The main difference between adopting (with a transfer of ownership in most cases) an Angel Acres
rescue horse and purchasing from a horse dealer is that you have our personal guarantee on each and every horse.
We strive to ensure an excellent match between horse and adopter. We also offer after adoption support
for the new horse owner.
Please write or call if you have any questions about our program.
We primarily serve the entire East Coast - and adopt horses out all over the country. We rescue horses bound for slaughter for human consumption. We also assist in cases of abuse and neglect.
Additional adoption info
Fees vary for each horse and we try very, very hard to ensure a great match between adopter and horse!
