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.

Rocky LTHRocky LTH is a five-year-old Arabian gelding that stands 14.3h tall and is very athletic. He loves being out on trail and is getting ready to compete in his second 25-mile LD ride. Erna completed the 25-mile ride at the Gateway to the Canyons ride and most recently, completed the 30-mile ride and the 25-mile ride the next day at the Bill Thornburgh ride. They placed top-ten on the 30-mile ride and 5th place on the 25-mile ride. Rocky is signed up to compete 50 miles at the upcoming XP Sesenta Anos ride in Santa Ynez, CA.
Rocky has a very sweet personality. We rescued him as a stallion, but even as a stallion, we could turn him out with other geldings and he was a complete gentleman even around mares. Prior to starting his under-saddle training, we had Dr. Sullivan, at West Coast Equine Hospital, perform the equivalent of a PPE on Rocky because we wanted to train him with endurance riding in mind. He passed in flying colors. Currently, as part of his training, Rocky easily completes 12.5 miles under 2 hours and 20 minutes without being tired. He has a good heart rate, resting at 30 beats/minute and pulses down to 60 beats/minute in a short time frame. On trail he is brave and rides in front, the middle or the back. He doesn't mind being a distance away from the other horses. He has a smooth trot and canter. Rocky has a lot of spunk and is a fun ride. Gender: Gelding Breed: Arabian Age: 5 (2018) Height: 14.3h Color: Bay Rider Level: Intermediate As with all of our horses, Rocky is current on her immunizations, worming, teeth floating and farrier work. He is barefoot and the rocks on our trails have not bothered him. He prefers to be ridden in a bitless.

Mister HandsomeMister Handsome is a half-Arabian/half-Andalusian gelding, who is super sweet and very willing. Someone spoiled him prior to him landing at a couple of low-end auctions. We are not sure how this could have happened to him because he was loved and had had some good training. Mister Handsome trailers easily and has been conditioning for his first 25-mile endurance ride.
Mister Handsome loads and unloads trailers easily, stands tied to the trailer and hangs out. Mister Handsome gets along well with other horses. Name: Mister Handsome Gender: Gelding Breed: Arabian/Andalusian Age: 2016 (7 years old) Height: 14.3 hands Color: Grey Rider Level: Intermediate As with all of our horses, Mister Handsom is current on her immunizations, worming, teeth floating and farrier work. We did x-ray his front feet because he was always "ouchie" walking on ground that had stones. It turns out that his feet are thin soled, nothing more. For this reason he wears front shoes. His soles can thicken up over time so that he can go barefoot in the future.

DaisyDaisy used to be a family horse that belonged to an older man. She lived in his 20 acre back-yard and the grandkids would come over and ride her all over the property. Daisy is very sweet, loves going on trail and loves attention. She is a half-Arabian Ghost Paint. Her skin is black and white. During the summer or when she is wet, you can see that she is a paint horse under her white coat of hair.

She needs a rider who weights under 100 pounds because she is so small.

My haleys Comet AHR*660179In training, not quite ready for adoption.
Comet is an Alkhamsa Arabian gelding. We have his registration papers. He came to us from auction in Oregon, where he was sold off with another gelding from the same breeder. Interestingly enough, we rescued his dam in 2019 from that same loose horse auction. His breeder and former owner breeds racing Arabians. It took some time to earn Comet's trust again, but now that we have it, he is proving himself a willing and sweet gelding. We have started his under-saddle training and he is a good learner. Next steps for him is to be ponied out on trail with saddle and we are going to start ground-driving him. He is currently living in a 12x36 stall and has lived in a pasture setting most recently. He tends to be on the bottom of the pecking order. Name: My Haleys Comet (AHR*660179) Gender: Gelding Breed: Arabian Age: 5/20/2012 (11 years old) Height: 15h Color: Bay Rider Level: Intermediate (experienced since he is just now being started) As with all of our horses, Comet is current on his immunizations, worming, teeth floating and farrier work.
