Adopt a Horse

Montana Horse Sanctuary places residents ready for adoption in permanent, qualified homes. If you are interested in adopting, please contact us. You may fill out an application which we can e-mail you but you must have an in-person meeting with the horse/mule you are interested in adopting before we continue the application process. We provide adopters with the resident's complete veterinary and care file. We want adopters to be as informed as possible.

People who adopt from us sign a contract stating that if for some reason they can no longer care for their sanctuary horse, they will return it to the sanctuary.

The following residents are ready for placement. More information about them can be found on the Meet the Horses page. And, of course, sanctuary staff is always happy to provide more photos and information about these residents.

Periwinkle

Adoption fee: $1,000.
7-year-old Quarter Horse/Paint mare.

Periwinkle's warm and gentle nature is instantly obvious. She's a sweet girl with lots to offer. She came to the sanctuary with a fracture to one of the bones of her carpus. X-rays show that the bone healed beautifully. Periwinkle has slight swelling over the carpal joint which seems to bother her a little on damp, cold days. But most days, she's sound. She's a beautiful, healthy mare.

Periwinkle is a very calm horse with limited experience under saddle. She will spend a few weeks with Bozeman horse trainer Jess Holloway in early 2007 to reacquaint herself with being ridden. Jess will help her be the right horse for more kinds of riders. Periwinkle will be ready for adoption in early 2007 for a beginning rider but is eligible for adoption to a more advanced rider now.

Benjamin

Adoption fee: $250.
Age - approx. 34, mule

Ben is a sweet guy and simply adores being brushed and going for walks. Because he has a few molars missing, he eats smoothies three times a day made from hay pellets and LMF senior feed. Ben is looking for his forever home where he can continue his much-deserved retirement.

Meet A Growing Need

Montana Horse Sanctuary is rapidly outgrowing its current location north of Helena, Montana. We must find a Montana ranch or parcel of land which can sustainably support 25-50 horses year round. Our planned facilities will include a veterinary - quarantine barn, a large indoor arena, turn-out shelters, corrals, and large pastures. The estimated cost for land and facilities is $3 million.
