Please be sure before taking on this responsibility that you are PREPARED to spend the needed time caring for your new equine. It is a responsibility that is not to be taken lightly whether it is your time or finances. We offer education at the facility for those who want to learn to be good horse owners as well as how to work with your equine friend. We ask that you come to spend time with the horse you are interested in so that we may assist in finding the best fit for you and to establish a bond with your new equine friend.

By submitting this form you agree to and understand the following:

~~Horse Feathers Equine Center retains first right of refusal of all adopted equines.
~~No breed or registration papers will be provided to the Adopter.
~~No contact information for the former owner will be provided to the Adopter.
~~Horse Feathers Equine Center retains the right to unilaterally seize the horse upon our determination that the said horse is not being properly cared for, including neglect, physical abuse, training abuse, or mental abuse. If an adopted horse is found to be abused or neglected, we will prosecute to the fullest extent of the law following our recovery of the animal.
~~If for any reason you are unable to care for and need to return said horse, it must be returned directly to Horse Feathers Equine Center. No refunds will be given for either the Adoption Fee or any expenses incurred since adoption, and you are responsible for returning the horse at your expense.
~~You may NOT breed, sell, give away, assign, dispose of, or transfer this horse. If an adopted horse is found to be bred, said horse and resulting foal are subject to immediate forfeiture. If an adopted horse is found to have been sold, given away, assigned, disposed of, or transferred, we will prosecute to the fullest extent of the law for theft.
~~You agree to provide biannual photographic updates on your adopted equine as set forth in the contract. Photographic update "may" be waived in exchange for a health statement from your vet on their letterhead during annual vaccination call.
~~Horse Feathers Equine Center reserves the right to conduct site inspections to check on the condition of the horse and the stable.
~~You agree to provide proper care and ongoing maintenance of the horse, to include, but not limited to year round shelter, free access to clean water, proper feed & hay, inoculations, dental care, hoof care & trimming, and worming. You are responsible for providing veterinary care above and beyond in the event of illness, injury or accident.

You must agree to these conditions prior to the adoption becoming final, and your signature below is proof of such agreement.
