Applications Now Being Accepted

We are starting the adoption process of accepting applicants interested in adopting one of these two very fine colts.  Applications will be reviewed during the months of September and a new home chosen in October.  However, they will remain at CFH until they have been gelded which we are anticipating will be late October.

Applications can be downloaded using the link Adoption Application.  You can email your completed application to careforthehorses@msn.com, or mail to Care For The Horses, PO Box 884, Sierra Vista, AZ 85635.  Be sure to include pictures of your stabling, fencing and other animals if you have them.

Our requirements are that you continue to train the horses, provide adequate shade (lean-to, shed, or barn, etc.), room to run and there must be other horses on premise to keep them company.

We will adopt out separately or together depending upon the best situation for them.  You can make an appointment to see Lightening and Cowboy by calling Ann Jost at 520-559-2224 or by email at careforthehorses@msn.com.

Adoption fee will be $350 each, they do not have papers.










Our Arab Babies are Growing Big & Strong

It has been 60 days since the Arab babies arrived.  They were in very bad health upon arrival to our facility June 23rd.  Both horses were suffering from EHV and mutliple health issues.  Those are now taken care of and they are now ready to start being "normal" growing colts.

Lightening (below) had great ddifficulty in getting upnd had to be helped.  In the process of struggling to get up by himself he suffered many open wounds to his legs and his hips were very sore.

                            Today you can see he is a happy healthy growing boy.





Coboy was actually the worst of the too, having ulcers and some hip issues.



.


He is now a very handsome boy and his gait has corrected itself and he is full of energy
