Horse Haven of Tennessee, Inc. was formed in 1999 by Nina Margetson. She realized that there was no one acting on behalf of the neglected and abused equine in Tennessee. Even though she is no longer with the organization, we strive to continue and carry on the passion and dedication she had for this organization. Since its formation, HHT has cared for more than 1,200 horses and remains the largest nonprofit equine welfare organization serving the entire state of Tennessee. The organization assists law enforcement officials by transporting and caring for horses that are seized during criminal abuse and neglect cases. The horses are then cared for while the cases are litigated in court. Staff and volunteers are the backbone of this organization and make daily care possible.
Part 1 - Interested in a particular equine? Fill out the adoption application. You will then be contacted for the second phase of the process. Part 2 - Once your application has been reviewed, the Horse Haven of Tennessee Adoption Specialist will contact you for a phone interview. Part 3 - A time will be set up for you to meet the equine available for adoption. Depending on your phone interview, you can meet the equine of your choice or one selected by our Adoption Specialist. You are welcome to assess them in any way you see fit as long as it has been discussed in your phone interview. We welcome you to bring your trainer or anyone else that might assist you in your evaluation. Part 4 - After meeting your adoptable equine, a member of our adoption committee will contact you to set up a facility check. When the adoption committee member arrives to check the facility you will be keeping your new equine, the $25 facility check fee is due. The adoption committee member will look at shelter, fence lines, and access to water. After the facility check, our Adoption Specialist will contact you about your approval. Part 5 - Once your facility has been approved you are welcome to set up a time to complete the adoption contract and pick up your new equine. Delivery is available if you do not have transport. The minimum delivery fee is $75 for a trip within a 25 mile radius of our facility, or it will be $3 a mile for longer distances. The adoption fee is due at time of pick up or delivery.
