Reasons to Donate Your horse instead of taking it to a Sale Barn
Do you have a horse that you can no longer ride, race, show or just can no longer care for?

What can you do about it?
There is an easy, safe way to make sure that your horse finds a good home and won't go to the auction or sale barn. You can donate your horse to Helping Hands Equine Rehab and Rescue, also known as HHERR

What does HHERR do?
We are committed and dedicated to finding a life long home for your horse. Every adopter is required to fill out our application, which we then process to make sure the adopter is qualified to care for the horse. This includes reference, facility checks, and sometimes backround checks.

What will we guarantee?
We guarantee that your horse will go to a safe, loving, and caring home. If your horse can no longer be ridden, it will be adopted as a companion only. If your horse is a former race horse and show horse and can no longer do either, we will make sure it is adopted out under the conditions it is able to do. If your horse has special needs or veterinary care, your horse will be taken care of prior to it going to an adoptive home, depending on the horse’s needs.

How do you donate?
There is a Relinquishment of Ownership form that needs to filled out, signed and dated, giving ownership to HHERR. This can be obtained by either calling us directly or emailing HHERR.

How is my donated horse going to be protected?
All horses are jointly owned between the adopter and Helping Hands Equine Rehab and Rescue. HHERR does not turn over ownership of ANY horse until that horse has been in an adopter's care for a minimum of two years. At the end of the joint ownership period, we re-evaluate the adopter to make sure that they have taken proper care of the horse. HHERR may or may not grant full ownership to the adoptive party.

What may happen if I take my horse to a sale barn?
This is a good possibility of where your beloved Equine Friend may end up if it is taken to a Sale Barn or Auction Facility.
