Mission Statement: To promote and encourage the public to stop horse abuse. To rehabilitate neglected and abused equine. To accept donations of unwanted equines for adoption into new homes. To offer help to equine owners in times of natural or personal disaster. To assist law enforcement officers in seizing, fostering, and adopting of equines in order to protect these horses from further abuse. To improve the lives of equines throughout the United States and Canada.
We interview people on the phone and in person. We need to be sure the homes for these horses are experienced enough to handle them and give them a good home. Then we need an adoption application filled out for our records and a cashiers check, money order or cash made to United Pegasus Foundation within four days of reservation of the horse in order for the horse to be yours. If the horse is in the US, you can pick the horse up as soon as you paid for her. If the horse is in Canada, we need at least two weeks to have the horse vetted and assigned a trailer. When that trailer is full, the trailer will then travel to the destination. You would then be responsible to pick her up from there. THE ONLY PAPERWORK YOU WILL GET is a copy of the coggins/travel papers. All of these horses have had all their vaccinations upon arrival but the foals will be due again in a few months. If you want a letter proving adoption, please email us. We can also send you the information on how to register your PMU with the PMU Registry. When you show up to pick up your horse, PLEASE bring a stock trailer or a three horse plus sized trailer. We will herd the horse into the trailer for you. Unless you have a small horse to pick up, two horse trailers can be difficult. If all you have is a two horse available, take the middle partition out. Please understand, these horses are not wild, but they are scared. They are used to doing things when grouped with other horses. Taking one horse individually and loading her alone into a small trailer can be a little frightening. When you get the horse to your home or boarding facility, put her in an area where you can catch her easily and just let her relax and eat. Back the trailer up near where you are going to put her. This advice might be unnecessary but for the more frightened horse, this is the best route to take.
