Why Adopt?
Adopting a horse isn't just about giving an animal a home—it’s about joining a community of advocates. When you choose to adopt:
-
You Save Two Lives: You provide a home for your new horse and open up a spot for another in need.
-
Transparent History: We provide honest assessments of temperament, health, and training levels.
-
Ongoing Support: Our team stays in your corner to ensure a smooth transition for both horse and human.

Phoebe
Phoebe is a 25 year old retired barrel horse and is an owner surrender. She is a companion horse only as she is no longer ridable, has knobby knees and had a significant hoof injury that ended her barrel racing several years ago. Owners had her only a short time as a companion horse for their senior horse who passed away last summer. They are going to sponsor Phoebe here at the rescue but are no longer having any of their own horses as they are retired also. She is adoptable as a companion horse or pasture pet ONLY. Due to her past injuries she is not able to be ridden anymore. Phoebe is the sweetest horse ever! Come visit her if you can. She loves carrots!

Sassy
Sassy is a 24-year-old AQHA mare with a gentle nature who absolutely loves being groomed. She’s easy to ride and very kid-friendly, making her a great match for a child or grandchild who is just learning or wants a calm, easygoing ride.
Sassy does have Cushing’s disease, which is managed with Prascend and a controlled diet. She can be on pasture for short periods, but a grazing muzzle has been used in the past. This has worked well for her to prevent an exacerbation of her condition, but a dry lot is preferred. She will also need senior feed to help maintain her weight.
If you’re looking for a kind, steady companion, come meet this sweet girl!

Lizzy
Meet Lizzy, a 14-year-old Paint mare whose personality is as vibrant as her coat! Lizzy arrived at Happy Tails Haven in April through a heartfelt owner surrender. Her previous owner adored her and made the compassionate choice to ensure she found a loving, permanent home rather than risking the uncertainty of an auction.
-
A True Socialite: This sweet girl is always the first to greet visitors, eagerly heading to the fence for a "hello" and some attention.
-
Gentle & Patient: According to her previous home, Lizzy was a star with the local kids, who would frequently come over to ride her bareback around the yard.
-
Lizzy would do best under an intermediate rider and would be a project horse. She is incredibly sweet and willing to please her rider, she just needs more riding experience and training.
-
Lizzy doesn't fully understand leg cues and is a bit distracted by the bit at first, but this could be because she isn't used to one. She likes to think she is the boss and knows more then she thinks she does.
-
With consistency and training, she has a lot of potential depending on what her forever person wants to do with her! We think speed events could be a great fit for her!
Lizzy is looking for a partner who will appreciate her kind nature and well-mannered soul. If you’re looking for a companion who is as reliable as she is affectionate, Lizzy is waiting at the fence for you!

Monica
Meet Monica, a gorgeous 23-year-old Quarter Horse with a heart of gold. Monica originally came to us as an owner surrender alongside her yearling filly—whom she poured her whole heart (and weight) into raising. Now, she's ready for her own next chapter!
This sweet mare is exceptionally well-trained, broke to ride, and boasts some seriously "fancy buttons." Before her days as a broodmare, she was a trusted family horse ridden by her previous owner’s mother. True to her nature, Monica is incredibly loving, easygoing, and always eager to please. She is wonderfully gentle with children and makes the absolute perfect confidence-builder for a rider looking to grow skills and trust. She is currently gaining her weight back beautifully and is searching for a forever home and a partner to share her golden years with.
