The mission of The Break Heart Ranch Horse Rescue, is to
ensure that our horses go to good and loving homes. Since
most of our horses come from situations that included forms of
abuse and neglect, we will not adopt out a horse that may end
up in the same situation. To that end, we have asked for
information that will not only help you to find your perfect
companion, but, protect our horses as well. We, at Break
Heart, will not allow one of our precious friends to be hurt
again. Sadly, we have been taken advantage of, and are forced
to change our policies.
New Policies for
Adoption: We have a new application form, asking for more
information! Please make sure all requested information is
filled out! If there are blanks on the application it may be
returned. We have asked for more information in an effort to
find the perfect horse for your situation. All references
will be followed up , and all Vet references will be called,
as well as a phone interview with all who apply. Every effort
will be made to ensure that the information provided us is
correct.
We will be doing
home checks. We aren’t looking for dirty dishes or clothes!
What we are looking for is the safety of the horses
environment. This includes any boarding facilities you are
planning on using. We are not there to judge! If need be,
we will recommend areas that may need improvement! We’re
looking at fencing, tack, pasture area, other hoof stock at
the location, barns and outbuildings. We are there to
help! So if you have any questions, please don't hesitate
to ask. If we don’t know, we’ll find out! This home check
works for all of our benefits, especially your new companion.
We want you to have a wonderful experience.
We are looking for
safe, caring homes, where our horses will be treated as the
loving friends and companions they are. We would like to help
you find the appropriate horse for whatever reason you are
looking, such as a 4-H project, special needs child, riding
discipline, skill level and so on. We haven’t left you out,
as the new horse parent! There will be a list of phone numbers
provided with every adoption. This list will be a
comprehensive list of contacts that will be able to help you
out with any problem you might have. Even if it’s to pass on
a funny story, or to vent in frustration! We will be doing
follow up visits, to all new adoptions, to make sure that the
fit is perfect between horse and family. Yet another chance
for you to ask us more questions! We are willing to provide
you references as well. They will be happy to answer any
questions you have about us.
These beautiful, intelligent beings deserve better treatment
then what they had in the past, and Break Heart Ranch reserves
the right to refuse any adoption application if all guidelines
aren’t met.
It is heartbreaking to realize that a
few people, that were trusted to uphold their promise to care
for our special animals, have caused them pain and anguish. I
cannot bear another animal being treated cruelly, because I
made a mistake in judgment. These animals bond with their
companions and it is hard on them to be shuffled about. They
want and need a stable, loving environment and this is our
goal, while providing you with the very special experience of
knowing and loving these truly magnificent animals.
Full
payment for all adoptions is required. Without payment, our
adoptees will remain available for
other families.
To make sure we always have space for our rescues, we are
unable to board horses unless prior arrangements have been
made.
