PROSPECT HORSES

Prospect horses are horses that are physically sound, have had some groundwork training, and may have been trained to accept a saddle, bridle, and/or rider, but need additional time with a trainer to become confident and reliable riding horses. They may have had training in the past but need a tune-up. Equine Outreach makes no guarantee of a horse's level of training or soundness.

The adoption fee for a Prospect horse is $525. This fee includes the $25 adoption application fee. We strongly recommend that you have the horse independently vet checked and evaluated by your trainer, especially if you have limited training experience. We make every effort to have adopted horses be up-to-date on their vaccinations, worming and farrier work.

>> For details on how to adopt any of these horses, please see our Adoption Process page.

Chiquita

Mare
Mustang

2008(est.)
15 hh

Chiquita is a 13 yr old sorrel reservation mustang that is 15 hands. She has been started with solid ground work, stands quietly for farrier and is easy to medicate and bathe when needed. She was a great trail horse. She is sensitive but once you win her trust, she will follow you around and look for attention and reassurance.

She is currently in a foster home.

Hank

Gelding
Pony/QH
1998 (est.)
14 hh

Hank was surrendered in 2010. He was adopted but came back recently when his adopters got in a financial crisis. He was a bit skinny but has filled out nicely. Hank is very sweet and anxious to please. He halters well and stands nicely tied to be groomed as well as for the farrier. He has been ridden in the past but due to back issue would need a lightweight rider (child or small adult) and a restart.

Ruby

Mare
Quarter Horse
2007
15 hh

Ruby is a 14 yr old quarter horse mare. Breeding goes back to Peppy San Badger. Was once papered but never transferred. Needs shoes on front feet. She is all business, sort of saying “Yes ma’am!” To what ever you ask of her, while always scanning the horizon looking out for threats.

She is currently in a foster home.
