Horses for Adoption

Currently, the only states which we work with for horse adoptions and donations are Pennsylvania, Maryland, New Jersey, Virginia and West Virginia. The main breed types that we handle include Arabians, Draft Horses and Mules, Ponies, Quarter Horses, Saddle Bred, Standard Bred and Thoroughbreds.

To ensure the proper care of each horse that visits our farm, we maintain rights to every adopted equine for as long as it lives. This “Protective Ownership” means that the L&FHRF is the sole owner with the rules for adoption simple: don’t breed, race or resell any equine. By retaining ownership, we legally have the ability to reclaim a horse at any time and place it in a more suitable environment if a current situation is deemed unsatisfactory. While this “tough love” rule may seem extreme, it is founded with only the best intentions for each and every equine.

By donating a horse to the Lost and Found Horse Rescue Foundation, both owner and horse can improve their existence. Some advantages include:

A lifetime home with full care, love and support.
Tax-deductible contributions, which are usually more cost-effective than selling a horse.
Former owners may stay in touch with adoptive families for status reports.
Horses receive another opportunity to lead healthy, productive lives.

We have numerous young, healthy horses worthy of adoption here at L&FHRF. Most just need a little training, patience and, of course, some TLC. In fact, many of our adopted horses have become serious show competitors in the hunter and eventing fields. Our goal is to find the perfect horse that fits directly into your lifestyle, your home and your heart. We can be reached by phone at (717)428-9701 or e-mail: lostandfound@lfhr.org.

	Black and Gold (ON HOLD) 15-year-old Thoroughbred Gelding 15.3 hands Calvin, as we call him, was brought back to the rescue due to his owner's retirement and getting out of horses.

	Cody 7-year-old Shetland Pony Gelding 10.2 hands Cody was an extremely abused pony. He is hard to catch, and once caught, he is afraid that he is going to be beaten.

King had some anxiety issues but now is trusting to ride and great to work with on the ground. He is willing to learn and needs to be loved by one person--he doesn't do well being passed around. He likes a stable environment, with a consistent routine... King wears four shoes, has great feet, is easy to catch, and good for the vet. He ships well, too. King is easy to be around and a bit of a wimp with other horses. Please adopt him! For more information please call 410-628-6531 back to top

	Mister Bee 11-year-old Quarter Horse Gelding 16 hands Slaughter Rescue. Strawberry Roan. Mr. Bee has a a bit of a motor and will need at least an intermediate rider. He is not completely sound at this point. When we rescued him a few weeks ago he was about 80% sound, and with some good blacksmithing and rest he is now about 95% sound. He has lovely gaits, and he's extremely comfortable to ride. The more he is ridden the more sound he appears; its when he first starts out that he does not appear to be completely sound. Mr. Bee necks reins, knows his leads, and must have been used for western riding. He was head shy when he first came to us, and it appears that he was "cow boyed". Since being here a few weeks, he is much better and now enjoys a good brushing. He is handsome, and a nice guy to have in your barn, no vices. back to top

She is awesome, very athletic, a nice quality horse, and the kind you like to have around. Dream is sound, with no vices. Being that she is so young, she will need a person who has experience bringing along a young horse. Don't miss this one! Update: This filly is a dream to ride--going WTC very quietly in the field and is quite an athletic mover. Starting over cross rails on the longe and gaining confidence. back to top
