Lucy
About 15 years old, Grad QH, 14.3 hands, Mare.
Lucy was previously a therapy horse for youth programs and now is one of the barn favorites! She loves lighter kids rides in the arena or on trails. Kids are best suited for her, she will help build confidence on the ground and will take them anywhere under saddle - through pool noodles, trail courses, over bridges, water, and more! She is a gentle and sweet unicorn who loves everything - arena games, grooming, riding, etc.
Paisley
6 year old, Red Roan, Grade QH, 15 hands, Mare.
Paisley is the sweetest young girl, and has a bright future ahead. She require some maintenance including front shoes. Her foundation of training was started slow and correct, and now is ready to begin her under-saddle training.
BudLight
20+ years old, Palomino Paint Belgian cross, 18 hands, Gelding.
BudLight is a gentle giant, and our go to lesson horse. Kids as young as 4 have ridden him! He is a great confidence builder and is trustworthy with any rider. Light riding with a large pasture space to semi-retire to would be the best home for our gentle giant.

Beauty

She is not looking to jump or participate in high competitive disciplines, but would be an ideal partner for leisurely flatwork or a lovely trail. Beauty also loves to be groomed, pampered and treated like the elegant lady she is! Best suited for novice or intermediate kids or adults.
Rocker

Rocker is a retired hunter/jumper show horse with many riding miles under his belt. He requires corrective shoeing for navicular and will need a light ride home or a home as a companion partner. Under-saddle he be a little bit of a chicken, with small spooks here and there, which is why he is best suited for an intermediate or advanced rider. He has impeccable ground manners, will stand for days, lunges, ties and hauls no problem.

MHR Adoption Process:
-
Adoption application to be completed and sent to info@milehighrescue.org. Submitted applications do not guarantee adoption. If the application is determined to be a good fit for the rescue of interest, then an assessment will be scheduled.
-
Assessment evaluation to get to know the rescue. This includes handling, grooming, and riding if applicable (trails or in the arena). We spend this time assessing skill levels and making sure the rescue fits the needs of their future home. Assessments are $75, however they are waived with completed adoptions. This fee, if paid to MHR, goes back to support the rescues.
-
30-day on-site lease is an option prior to adoption. Leases start at $400/month. Lessons can also be scheduled at a rate of $65/hour.
-
-
Once the evaluation is deemed a good fit, a home check and reference check will be performed. Rescue "holds" can be placed ($150 deposit for up to two weeks). Deposits are applied to the adoption price if adopted. If the adopter decides against adoption, the deposit will be assumed by MHR in support of the rescues.
-
When the home check and references are approved, adoption contracts will be signed and adoption fee paid.
