Adoptable Horses
How to adopt from Love this Horse:
1. Complete the online adoption application here.
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. 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. You adopt the horse & bring him/her home.
* 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 you have any issues filling out the online application form -- please email us at love.this.horse.equine.rescue@gmail.com and we can provide you a document for you to fill out.
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 refund (within 14 business days - as long as the adopted horse is returned in the same good condition). 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.

Adopted - GOOD FORTUNE SSR - AHR*596770Good Fortune is a good trail horse, he is responsive to his rider and it is very obvious that he has had training in his past. We found out his identity via DNA testing through the Arabian Horse Association. Unfortunately his former owner is refusing to give us his registration paper.
Good Fortune is available for adoption through our Oldies & Goodies Program, where the adopter knows that he can be returned to the rescue for retirement once he is too old to be ridden. (Adopter is responsible for transportation back to the rescue.) At that time, the adopter is able to adopt another riding horse for half of the adoption fee. We have this program so that older riding horses have a chance at being adopted because many, like Good Fortune have a lot of riding left in them. Name: Good Fortune SSR Gender: Gelding Breed: Arabian Age: 05/07/2002 Height: 16.1 h Color: Grey Rider Level: Intermediate As with all of our horses, Good Fortune is current on his immunizations, worming, teeth floating and farrier work. Follow the horse's progress, see more photos and videos, by entering her hashtag into Facebook's search box: #LTHGoodFortune we named him Khalid before we found out his identity, thus he also has some posts under #LTHKhalid Adoption fee $2,250.00 ~ if you are interested in adopting, please fill out our online application here. |

Adopted - GitanoGitano is an Andalusian gelding who came to us via animal control. He was a stallion at time of rescue. He is a very sweet horse who wants to please and who also likes "on the ground" attention, like grooming and pats. We are working with him in the arena and on trail. He truly is a magnificent horse!
Name: Gitano Gender: Gelding Breed: Andalusian Age: 9 Height: 16h Color: Gray Rider Level: Intermediate As with all of our horses, Gitano is current on his immunizations, worming, teeth floating and farrier work. He had surgery to remove melanomas from his tail and anus area. He still has some that cannot be removed.

omarOmar loves being out on trail. He is not spooky and is pretty confident. Omar is a horse that can walk the entire trail ride or he can walk, trot, canter without getting "hot". He just loves it out on trail. Omar is a really nice trail horse and he does not mind riding in the arena either.
Omar does well in a pasture setting. He tends to be low man in the herd setting. He does well with mares and geldings. He has Polish Arabian breeding, but was never registered. Omar likes to be ridden on a regular basis. He prefers a little s hackamore to a bit. He is responsive to leg and seat cues. He wears shoes on his front feet. Omar is beginner friendly, which is different from being a beginner horse. We believe that a beginner horse is a 30-year-old QH that just walks no matter what the rider does on his back. A beginner friendly horse is great for someone who has the basics of riding down and can sit a walk, trot, canter in a relaxed manner without having to grab onto the reins for "life support". A beginner friendly horse is great for someone who is might be older and does not want a hot or spooky horse. Name: Omar Gender: Gelding Breed: Arabian Age: 13 (July 2009) Height: 15.2 hands Color: grey Rider Level: Beginner Friendly/Intermediate As with all of our horses, Omar is current on his immunizations, worming, teeth floating and farrier work.

fazaaneh bint jasmn AHR*635637Jasmn would make a great endurance horse for a junior rider or a rider who wants a calm horse. We completed two days of endurance riding with Jasmn at the XP Ride at Laurel Mountain, CA. She did beyond amazing, was calm, not a race brain, yet she moves out when asked to go. She does not care if she is in the back, middle or front. It did not phase when other horses ran past her on the trail. She moved to her own beat. But, when you ask her to go, she will go! When asked to slow down, she relaxes and listens well.
Jasmn had x-rays and a vet evaluation with us and was cleared to be a 50-miler horse. So what are you waiting for! She is a big bodied Alkhamsa mare and is very athletic. She loves being out on trail and is a mare who loves to please her person. Jasmn is very willing to do what she is asked. She is an absolute sweetheart. We would love to see her as a trail, LD or even a 50-mile endurance horse. Jasmn lives in a herd environment and gets along well with other horses, it doesn't matter mares or geldings. Name: FAZAANEH BINT JASMN "Jasmn" Gender: Mare Breed: Arabian Age: 05/14/2007 Height: 15h Color: Gray Rider Level: Intermediate/Advanced (she is green) She is UTD on her immunizations, teeth and worming.

Elizabeth HVP - ahr*658470 "Marshmallow"Marshmallow completed two days of endurance riding at the XP-Ride at Laurel Mountain, and she did amazing. She has a lot of go in her and loves being out on trail. She has a competitive side and likes to lead! She really has the endurance spirit for someone who likes to "go".
Marshmallow (as we call her) is under saddle and is on trail. She is a very sweet and sensitive mare who responds to a loving handler and rider. Even though she has impeccable breeding (EDEN C x NOSTALGGIA out of FALCON BHF), it did not prevent her from falling into the wrong hands. Since she has been with us, Marshmallow has blossomed and is one of the sweetest horses on the ranch. She has beautiful movement is athletic. We identified her through DNA testing, but her registered owner (who was also her breeder) is Jaime Pinheiro out of Sao Paulo, Brazil. He is in his 90s and we have not been able to contact him or his breeding business manager to get her papers signed over to us. Marshmallow would excel in endurance riding, but also in other disciplines such as sport horse under saddle. Sadly, without her registration paper, she cannot compete in AHA shows. We are confident that someone who loves to ride trail, competes in LD or endurance riding will adopt her. For that, she does not need her registration paper. Name: ELIZABETH HVP "Marshmallow" Gender: Mare Breed: Arabian Age: 04/11/2012 Height: 15 hands Color: grey Rider Level: Intermediate/Advanced (she is green) As with all of our horses, Marshmallow is current on her immunizations, worming, teeth floating and farrier work. She is barefoot and has nice solid feet.

Adopted - Little DebbyLittle Debby was a family riding horse until the family could not afford her anymore. We purchased her from the family so that they would not take her to auction. She is extremely sweet and calm. Little Debby gets along with all the other horses, mares or geldings. She is a gem. Little Debby had to gain weight and had to have a large abscess surgically removed from her right cheek.
Little Debby is beginner friendly, which is different from being a beginner horse. We believe that a beginner horse is a 30-year-old QH that just walks no matter what the rider does on his back. A beginner friendly horse is great for someone who has the basics of riding down and can sit a walk, trot, canter in a relaxed manner without having to grab onto the reins for "life support".

Adopted - Sterling Star SSr - AHR*619589Sterling Star ("Sterling") is a beautiful and kind well-bred Arabian gelding. He is great on trail and doesn't mind being ridden in the arena. He hadn't been ridden in a few years, so we are giving him some refresher training. Sterling has been super responsive and sweet. He is super light on his cues, just move your pinky on the reins and he responds.
Unfortunately, Sterling ended up in a loose horse auction in Washington state after his breeder/owner decided to sell all of her horses and all of them ended up at that particular auction. Fortunately, we were able to intercept them from the auction. However, once we identified the horses via DNA testing through the Arabian Horse Association, we contacted the breeder (who is also the registered owner) and she refuses to release their papers.

adopted - SPOT ON DDA - AHR*668184SPOT ON DDA, "Spot" is a young, tall, super sweet and energetic WH JUSTICE son. Spot listens to his rider and likes to please.
Spot loves being out on trail and likes to be the lead horse. But, he would make a nice sport horse for somebody, but he does not like busy show barns. His ideal adoption situation would be someone who is a calm and quiet rider, who loves trail riding and if his person wants to do arena riding or sport horse type riding, it needs to be balanced with trail riding. He is super sweet and wants to please. Spot loves living out in a paddock or pasture with companions. He gets anxious in a single stall away from the comfort of a herd. His prior owner had Spot at a show barn, in a single stall and it made him anxious. Name: SPOT ON DDA Gender: Gelding Breed: Arabian Age: 2/21/2015 Height: 16h Color: Chestnut Rider Level: Intermediate Spot is current on her teeth floating, immunizations, and wormings. Spot wears front shoes.
