Adoptable Horses — Oregon Horse Rescue

OHR Adoptions and Fosters By Year

Thanks for your interest in adopting a horse! This page displays all horses currently available for adoption. Please see the Resident Horses page for our residents who are not currently available for adoption.

If you are interested in potentially adopting from us, the first step is to fill out our adoption application. You can return the completed application by email or US Mail as indicated on the application. Once we receive your application and have a chance to review it, we'll be in touch. If you have questions about any of these horses, please contact us using our email, US mail address, or phone numbers listed at the bottom of this page.

Our adoption fees typically vary from $150 to $1,500, depending on the characteristics and training of each horse. Senior horses and non-rideable horses will often have lower fees to encourage placement in new homes. Please inquire about individual adoption fees.

We hope you choose to welcome one of these sweet horses into your family!

KODAK

Generously sponsored by Marcia M. and Roxanne W.

♘Birthdate: 7/5/1996
♘Breed: Quarter Horse
♘Height: 15.3 hh
♘Intake Date: March 2019
♘Status: Rideable Adoption

Kodak is an smart, affectionate, and easy-going gelding that came to the rescue with another QH after their owner could no longer care for them. Despite his age, Kodak is sound and has a lot of life left. He is a gentleman under saddle and has a lovely temperament. He is respectful on the ground and loves water. He’s a wonderful trail horse, but because of his age we suggest him for only light riding at this stage of his life.

SAGE

Generously sponsored by Kathleen B.

♘Birthdate: 4/10/2000
♘Breed: Quarter Horse
♘Intake Date: January 2022
♘Status: Companion adoption; maybe rideable.

Sage is a registered Quarter Horse mare who had a very caring owner for 11 years. The owner surrendered her to us because Sage’s companion horse died, and because of the owner’s changing circumstances. Since her arrival, Sage has settled with a couple of our other mares. She tends to be the dominant mare in the group. Sage can be a bit anxious, and would need a trainer and patient rider if she were to be ridden. (She was last ridden about a dozen years ago.)

SAHARA

♘Birthdate: 1/1/2006
♘Breed: Quarter Horse
♘Intake Date: April 2022
♘Status: Companion adoption

Sahara was inherited by a woman with a very young daughter, and was surrendered to us because the owner was concerned about the daughter’s safety. That’s because Sahara has narcolepsy. Though we have not yet witnessed an episode since she has been at the rescue, we’ve been told that it can be triggered by as simple an event as tightening a girth on her. Narcolepsy is triggered in horses by pleasurable feelings. Who knew!?!? Sahara has knobby knees, and because of that can only be ridden by a child. She is in generally very good health.
