Application for Placement of Equine
"...and people may talk as much as they like about their religion,
but if it does not teach them to be good and kind to man and beast it is all a sham..."

The “Saddle Pals” have returned to health and are ready for new loving homes. Some
of the horses are trained English and some western. Most of
the time, HPS has horses that would be suitable for a child's first horse. No horse can teach
a child to ride and it is important to have an adult that can work with the child or he/she take riding lessons.
The horses have spent their time lounging in the fields during recovery and will need reconditioning
for muscle building. We seldom have a horse that will safely be able to carry a rider weighing over
165 pounds. Each generation people are getting larger…… but horses are not.

“Pasture Pals" have returned to health, but have issues that preclude them from
ever being ridden again. The horses are wonderful for a companion to another equine or for folks who just
want horses to love and to be loved back.
Equines in Recovery
“Equines in Recovery” are horses that may be able to be ridden once they have gained their full weight.
Some may be “Pasture Pals” and we usually know what they will be able to do when fully recovered.
An application can be placed for one of the horses before they are fully recovered with permission of HPS.
They will remain at the sanctuary until better. Normally a horse will need two to three months of
field rest after they have gained all of their weight back before they can be put back under saddle.
Permanent Residents
The “Permanent Residents” are horses that have health issues that will need long term treatment, have reached the
age of 30 years old or are not suitable for placement. They love attention and enjoy the brushing by their Angel Sponsors.
Please come meet these wonderful horses. Our oldest horse Navajo, 43-years-old, is such a pleasure and is in perfect
health.
