Throwaway Ponies

Additional adoption info

At Throwaway Ponies, we want our horses to be adopted to a "forever" home. Therefore, we want a good fit between horse and family. We want to know what you expect from the equine and how you plan to use it. Then we can help you choose which one will fit with your goals. Horses are even available on a trial basis once a home is approved.

Types of horses available:
1. Fully rideable - we rarely get these, but do occasionally. Some can be ridden by experienced riders only.
2. Green broke - can be ridden by experienced rider, but will improve with training
3. Companion - good to put with another horse or get 2 as "yard art". Not to be ridden.
4. Trainable - no or little training, but you can train or hire a trainer

We ask for 3 references from your veterinarian, friend, and horse professional (if you know one). Please ask them to mail back the recommendation form.

We will come inspect your property for water source, shelter, fencing (barbed wire on over 10 ac only for safety reasons). Horses do not like to be stalled, but they must have shade and shelter from the wind and rain.

We will inspect the horses in 6 months, 12 months and then annually or ask you to email us photos.

Horses must be adequately fed and have current Coggins test and regular (at least every 8 weeks) farrier care.

Horses must have a companion – either horse, donkey or goat.

If the TaPs representative does not feel you are adequately caring for the horse, we will make recommendations that must be followed or you must surrender the horse.

If you move, you must let TaPs know your new location. If you can no longer care for the equine, you must return it to TaPs. If someone you know wants the horse, they must be approved by TaPs, but will be given first consideration if they are approved.
