Adopting? Please Read This First:

  • If you want a bombproof horse, great with kids, never spooks or one that is always ready to be ridden and "may do well in jumping or ......", we do not want to be rude, but odds are this is the WRONG place.  We get many horses in that will be great for first time horse owners, but be patient, it will be worth the wait.

  • Be Realistic - Rescues often take in horses that no one else would, they often have issues, physical and/or psychological in nature. There are many exceptions, but a bombproof horse or one able to jump well is NOT a normal rescue horse. Please keep this in mind with your requests.

  • Rescue horse are not free, be prepared to pay an adoption donation. Adoption donations vary and all prospective adoptive homes will go through an approval process before a horse can be placed. We do our best to serve the horse and the adopter.  All donations are tax deductible as allowed by law or your personal circumstances.

If you have any questions, concerns, would like to know the status of your application, or would like to schedule an appointment to see a horse please call our office at 812-729-7697 or you can e-mail inquires@indianahorserescue.com
